- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Training System Division intends to award a sole source follow-on indefinite quantity contract (IQC) to Saba Software, Inc., located at 2400 Bridge Pkwy, Redwood City, CA 94065, for the maintenance of the commercial Thinq Learning Management System (LMS) software, training and technical support services in support of the Integrated Learning Environment (ILE). Saba is the sole proprietary owner of the Thinq LMS software and as such, owns the programming code. Saba personnel are the only source which can provide the maintenance, training and technical support services for Thinq LMS software. In 2009, the Navy intends to research alternative solutions for the fulfillment of Next-generation ILE (NILE) requirements. This could lead to the development or acquisition of a solution other than an LMS, or a new LMS. The Navy estimates it will take approximately thirty-six months from NILE solution identification to NILE migration and implementation. The Navy intends for the NILE to be operational in December 2012. The maximum length of the proposed LMS contract will be 5 years, comprised of a one-year base with four one-year options. The speed of NILE solution identification, migration and implementation will influence contract length. This is not a request for quotation, nor an announcement of a forthcoming solicitation. Requests for copies of a solicitation will not be honored or acknowledged. The resulting contract will be firm fixed priced and negotiations will be conducted using other than full and open competition pursuant to the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Pursuing award through competition would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling critical mission requirements, potentially leading to the nonavailability of the LMS. The applicable North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code is 511210. Questions concerning this sole source modification may be directed in writing to the Contract Specialist, Kate Holcomb, e-mail address: katherine.holcomb@navy.mil or NAWCTSD, 12350 Research Parkway, Attn: Kate Holcomb Code 25333, Orlando, FL 32826.
