Together Software License Support and Maintenance

This announcement is issued as a special notice to award a brand name order to Micro Focus (US), Inc. 700 King Farm Blvd. STE 400, Rockville, MD 20850-3334. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) requires annual maintenance and support renewals for Together software applications.

DESCRIPTION:

CLIN 0001: Together Software License Support and Maintenance, Platform X86 Running Windows XP, Vista 32 Bit, Version 2008:R1, P /N: 600000234460, License S/N's: TJ22B383N22608 & TJ30B714N20769 Coverage Period: Award - 3/31/2013, QTY: 02 EA.

Redacted Justification: A DOD EMALL development contractor uses Together Software for an eclipse plugin that works with the BEA workshop. DOD EMALL must renew maintenance on the software annually to maintain the latest update and receive current patches so the contractor can continue utilizing the GFE to perform their contractual duties. It is impractical and not cost efficient to purchase, maintain, and integrate new software into the DOD EMALL development program.

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 Micro Focus, 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 Wednesday, May 30, 2012.
