About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Sam Houston has awarded a sole-source task order to International Business Machines Corporation for IBM mainframe operating software maintenance renewal under GSA Schedule GS-35F-110DA on July 29, 2026.
The justification cites Title 41 U.S.C. 4106(c)(2) as implemented by GSA Manual 538.7104-3(b)(1)(ii), establishing that only one source is capable of providing the required supplies and services. The U.S. Army Human Resources Command determined that IBM mainframe software is proprietary with no viable short-term alternatives absent complete hardware architecture replacement, and that operating unlicensed software creates unacceptable cybersecurity and compliance risks. The procurement was approved based on receipt of a Statement of Non-Availability (SONA 216824490) confirming no alternative enterprise contract vehicle or vendor can provide these capabilities.
The task order is firm-fixed-price for 8 months, with performance scheduled from contract award through March 31, 2027. Supplies and services include mandatory commercial software reinstatement fees and Monthly License Charge products: z/OS operating system components (z/OS V2 Base, DFSMS, DFSORT, HCM, RMF, SDSF, XL C/C++), Enterprise COBOL products, WebSphere MQ Advanced, support and maintenance products totaling 75 Maintenance Service Units, and System Services & Support products including IBM MQ Advanced, federated systems, directory maintenance, performance toolkit, and resource access control features. Place of performance is Fort Knox, Kentucky. The procurement reflects an extensive contracting history with IBM spanning 2019 through 2025 under the same authority.
