Services will be procured on a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP).This requirement is pursuant to the following authority; 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy the Agency Requirements and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), When the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, or, for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, full and open competition need not be provided for.
Description of Services:
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Depot Maintenance System (NDMS) is a depot production system that supports the resources required to perform depot level maintenance, repair, modification of aircraft, engines, components and other aeronautical equipment and to perform manufacturing and prototyping operations. NDMS provides this support for the Navy Fleet Readiness Centers (FRCs) at Cherry Point, NC (FRC East), North Island, CA (FRC Southwest), Jacksonville, FL (FRC Southeast), and also at the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA).
The NDMS Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) application, which is a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software application provided by JDA Software (JDA), requires transaction management capability provided by JDA in order for NDMS to implement transaction rollback capabilities. Prior to the new MRO release, JDA provided this capability via Application Program Interfaces (APIs). In the new MRO 8.3 release, these APIs need to be redeveloped as Web Services. As the OEM, it is necessary for JDA to develop these Web Services for various scenarios as identified by NDMS.
There are eleven (11) known transactions for which APIs need to be redeveloped as Web Services and provided on a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) basis. In addition it is possible that up to four (4) additional APIs may be identified and required during development and provided on a Cost-Plus-Fixed Fee (CPFF) basis.
Transaction management capability is required to allow NDMS developers integrating with MRO the ability to chain API calls together and have MRO process them as a single transaction. Without transaction management, the possibility of incomplete business transactions processed in MRO increases, which would cause widespread data integrity issues, causing major rework and extra cost to the NDMS program. Therefore it is essential for NDMS to acquire these new web services.
