The TAC intends to award a sole source Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract to Executive information Systems, LLC (EIS), 6901 Rockledge Drive, Suite 600, Bethesda, MD 20817. The purpose of this procurement is to provide robust statistical analysis capabilities for the VA Genomic Medicine Program (GenISIS). The proposed action is for brand name SAS Statistical Analysis Software and necessary maintenance. SAS software is used broadly across the VA both in operations and research for statistical analysis of data sets.

SAS' market leading enterprise class visualization and reporting capabilities including analytical-style graphs, maps and charts enable the VA researchers to identify and extract anomalies and trends in these vast data sets. At this time EIS is the only authorized reseller of the required maintenance for the necessary SAS software. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C.253(c)(1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1 entitled, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." The North American Industrial Classification (NAICS) for this effort is 541519. This notification shall close on Friday, August 26, 2011.

Questions/responses shall be submitted via e-mail to Contract Specialist, Kelly McGirr, kelly.mcgirr@va.gov, with the subject line as the synopsis number, VA118-11-RQ-0641.
