About this opportunity
The Department of Justice Justice Management Division has issued a Limited Source Justification Notice for software maintenance and support of IBM z/OS Mainframe systems installed at FBI shared Data Centers in Pocatello, Idaho and Clarksburg, West Virginia. The justification is for purchasing services directly from IBM through GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract GS-35F-11ODA, with an estimated annual value of $441,431.99. The sole source designation stems from the DOJ's 35-year history with IBM systems and the specific technological requirements of the Bureau of Prisons' Sentry application, which can only operate on IBM mainframes. IBM no longer provides mainframe software through Value Added Resellers, further supporting the sole source rationale confirmed by IBM's Federal Software Client Leader in October 2024. The previous contract, valued at $2,688,942.02, covered the period from October 2018 through September 2024, and this new contract will remain sole source unless IBM changes its resale approach or a cloud-based solution is developed.
