- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Region-Kansas City (ERAD-KC), located in Kansas City, Missouri intends to establish a 5-year contract for continued software upgrades, patches and technical support for the existing TLM Connected/Iron Mountain backup application. TLM Connected/Iron Mountain greatly reduces the risks and costs of data loss and minimizes recovery time for distributed PC's and laptops. Iron Mountain, Inc. is the only known source for the purchase of these continued upgrades and technical support. Failure to continue these upgrades could result in failure of the application. As the developer of the software, Iron Mountain, Inc. is the only company that offers the updates, and technical support. There are other software packages available for backup applications. However, since Iron Mountain software is the application currently in use, the follow-on updates, patches and technical support are only available from Iron Mountain. To change contractors would require an expensive duplication of effort and resources. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source. Interested parties may identify their interests and capabilities to respond to the requirement or submit a proposal. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive responses. However, all responses received within 10 days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. Interested firms shall include in writing, the company name, address, point of contact, telephone number, and business size along with a statement regarding their capabilities and qualifications, including any additional supporting literature. The NAICS code for this requirement is 541519. Offerors may send their proposal to email address karen.l.christian@noaa.gov or fax to 816-274-6952 ATTN: Karen Christian. All responsible sources may submit a quote which will be considered by the Agency. All contractors doing business with the Eastern Region Acquisition Division-Kansas City (ERAD-KC) must be registered with the Central Contractor Registry (CCR). For information and to register, please access the following website: http://www.ccr.gov/. In order to register with the CCR offerors must have a Dun & Bradstreet number. A Dun & Bradstreet number may be acquired free of charge by contacting Dun & Bradstreet on-line at http://www.dnb.com/product/eupdate/requestOptions.html or by phone at (800) 333-0505.
