Description
This is a synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This solicitation, TIRNO-10-Q-00197, provisions and clauses are in effect through FAC 2005-41 and incorporated into this RFQ. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 423430. This is an RFQ and brand name justification to procure Informatica PowerCenter and PowerExchange for UNIX software annual maintenance. The IRS is not requesting information from resellers of other brand names but manufacturers that can fulfill this brand name requirement. The equipment is located in the IRS/Detroit Computing Center, 985 Michigan Avenue, Detroit, MI 48226. The IRS is seeking competitive RFQs for the following brand name requirement: procure Informatica PowerCenter for UNIX software annual maintenance. The requirement is for the maintenance of mission critical Integrated Financial System (IFS). The Informatica software leverage the underlying modernization messaging system (MQ-Series) to provide cost-effective, secure, reliable, and scalable access to data in a range of complex source systems and provides the environmental tools utilized by the IFS application to collect, process, store, and report upon the IRS’s financial expenditures. The Informatica PowerCenter for UNIX software is already installed and operating in the IRS environment as described above.
