- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is 09-233-SOL-00063 and it is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). This solicitation and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-32. The associated NAICS code is 511210. This requirement is solicited under full and open competition. Brand Name Justification: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) undertook an effort to consolidate numerous stovepipe systems and, after an analysis of various software packages, selected the COGNOS 8 Business Intelligence (BI) tool to provide information analysis and standard reporting of combined systems data. The software provides a technical mechanism to import data from separate systems into a repository and an interface to query and report on the aggregated data. Additionally, all ACF enterprise level solutions must be UNIX based for security reasons, which the Cognos 8 BI software meets. This requirement is for the acquisition of software license renewal to maintain the existing Cognos 8 BI software. This software is manufactured by IBM.
