About this opportunity
This Special Notice from the Department of Defense Education Activity announces its intent to award a sole source contract to Audimation Services, Inc. The notice, published on September 12, 2020, outlines the agency's rationale for restricting competition for software maintenance and technical support services.
The sole source award will provide continued software updates, patches, and support for IDEA Data Analysis software used across the Defense Department Office of Inspector General. Audimation Services is the only authorized reseller for this proprietary software. The firm-fixed price purchase order, valued from September 30, 2020 through August 31, 2021 with an optional extension, aims to ensure continuity, compatibility, and integrity of data currently utilized. No solicitation will be issued as the contracting officer deemed historical pricing from Audimation Services to be fair and reasonable based on market research confirming their exclusive capabilities. Responses to the notice by September 15, 2020 were solely to determine whether competition should be pursued.
