About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Sam Houston issued this Limited Source Justification Notice for IBM Mainframe Operating System software renewal and maintenance in support of the U.S. Army Human Resources Command at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The procurement covers maintenance support services for IBM mainframe software, including z/OS operating system software, programming languages, and various technical support features that are critical to the Army's human resources and soldier recruitment functions. The sole-source award to IBM is justified because IBM is the only provider of the proprietary mainframe operating system software and maintenance, with no viable alternatives available in the market. The contract was awarded to IBM under GSA Schedule contract GS35F110DA with a total value of $1,226,006.53, covering the period from September 30, 2024, to March 31, 2025, with retroactive reinstatement dating back to October 1, 2023, and April 1, 2024. The justification emphasizes that without this maintenance contract, the Army would face significant risks including potential mission-critical system failures, inability to support essential human resources functions, and exposure to security vulnerabilities.
