- Description
- The Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate Rome NY intends to solicit and negotiate a sole source purchase order under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Servicer Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, with Citrix Systems, Inc., 851 West Cypress Creek Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309-2009 for the purchase of Customized Citrix XenApp Platinum Edition -x1 Multi Level Security Year 2 - Enterprise Level Agreement License. Though this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, information received by the response date of this solicitation will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The NAICS code is 541511. Sole Source Justification (Summary) The Department of Defense Intelligence Information System (DODIIS) Trusted Workstation (DTW)requires the purchase of Citrix XenApp Platinum Edition Multi Level Security (MLS) Year Two License Renewals for its enterprise. The requirement is mission essential for the installation and deployment of DTW 4.1 into all Regional Service Centers (RSC) during the FY10 timeframe to support the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). All five RSCs, including the Northeast RSC, the largest RSC located at the DIAC, are already using Citrix XenApp Platinum MLS licenses with their DTW implementation. The procurement of XenApp Platinum Edition Year Two licenses is a follow-on contract to the procurement of the XenApp Platinum Edition Year One licenses. XenApp Platinum Edition is the only software that has the unique specialized features required by DIA. Development of an equivalent product by the Government would be cost prohibitive and will not meet the timelines required for DTW 4.1 deployment. Furthermore DIA has mandated DTW to be fielded to all DODIIS sites with 100% desktop penetration. This level of penetration only can be achieved by supporting all applications currently in use throughout the DODIIS and this necessitates the use of Citrix XenApp Platinum Edition. Failure to implement XenApp Platinum Edition to support the thin client device will require maintenance of an additional "fat" client baseline for non-conforming applications, effectively doubling the amount of desktop hardware, software, administration, and maintenance required throughout the DODIIS enterprise. The Citrix XenApp Platinum Edition Multi Level Security Year 2 licenses are the only licenses that satisfy all agency requirements, and Citrix Systems is the sole provider of the software and support.
