Redwood R2W Software Maintenance

This announcement is issued as a special notice to award a brand name order to Redwood Software, Inc. 3000 Aerial Center Pkwy., Ste. 115, Morrisville, NC 27560-7677. The Defense Logistics Agency requires annual maintenance renewals for Report2Web (R2W) software applications.

DESCRIPTION:

CLIN 0001: Redwood R2W v2.5 Single-Processor VAR development license, POP: 6/1/2012 through 5/31/13, QTY: 01 EA.

CLIN 0002: Redwood R2W v2.5 SQL Server Edition Dual-Processor license, POP: 6/1/2012 through 5/31/13, QTY: 03 EA.

CLIN 0003: Redwood Report Burster Dual-Processor license, POP: 6/1/2012 through 5/31/13, QTY: 03 EA.

CLIN 0004: Redwood Report Router Dual-Processor license, POP: 6/1/2012 through 5/31/13, QTY: 01 EA.

Redacted Justification: The Defense Logistics Agency has determined the renewal of maintenance on existing R2W software is necessary because of the critical roles the software fills. The renewal of maintenance allows the Government to keep software patches current and vendor support, in the event of an outage or due to security vulnerability. Any interruption in the maintenance support would be critical to completion of vital cataloging and provisioning production workload and ultimately inhibit the Defense Logistics Agencies ability to support the Warfighter. Per Redwood Software, Inc., only Redwood can maintain this proprietary software. There are no vendors or partners authorized to maintain the software. Maintenance on existing software is significantly more cost effective than procuring alternative software to fill this critical role.

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Award will be made to Redwood Software, Inc. as they are the original manufacturer of the hardware and/or software and are the only known source that can provide the required support. If there are any other firms who can satisfy this requirement, please submit a proposal by 4:00 PM. EST on Friday, May 25, 2012.
