About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Eustis is seeking potential vendors for an annual software maintenance contract for the Army Career Tracker (ACT) Endeca Software system. The sources sought notice is designed to identify qualified vendors capable of providing maintenance and support for a specific set of software components, including IBM Cognos, IBM Infosphere Datastage, IBM SPSS Statistics, IBM DB2, HCL Connections, HCL Digital Experience Manager, and Endeca Information Access Platform. Interested businesses are encouraged to submit a one-page capabilities statement by January 10, 2025, at 10:00 am EST, with questions due by January 8, 2025. The government is particularly interested in responses from small businesses across various socioeconomic categories, including 8(a), Small Disadvantaged Business, HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and Women-Owned Small Businesses. Vendors must demonstrate their ability to meet the technical requirements and provide maintenance services at a fair market price.

While this is not a formal solicitation, the sources sought notice indicates the contract will be a Firm Fixed Price arrangement for annual software maintenance. No specific award value was explicitly stated in the documents, though the requirement appears to be for fiscal year 2025 software support services. The notice emphasizes that no alternative software products can be used, as they cannot be integrated with the existing licensed software infrastructure. The procurement will fall under NAICS category 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and PSC category 7G20 (IT and Telecom Network Products). The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the requirement and potentially set aside the contract for small businesses based on the responses received. Importantly, this notice does not constitute a formal solicitation, and the government will not reimburse any costs associated with preparing a response.
