- Description
- THIS IS NOT A RQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract under statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 (a)(1) "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." Headquarters United States Central Command (HQ USCENTCOM), 7115 S. Boundary Blvd., Tampa, FL 33621, requires renewal of support and upgrades to the Task Management Tool currently in use by USCENTCOM. The 6 th Contracting Squadron intends to make an award to Accenture Federal Services Inc., 211 North Broadway, Suite 2950, St. Louise, MO 63102. Interested parties may e-mail joy.waller-pemberton@us.af.mil, not later than Wednesday, April 18 2012; 9:00a.m. EST. V. Avanade Federal Services (AVFS) was recently transferred to Accenture Federal Services (AFS). As part of that transaction, an inter-organizational license agreement between AVFS and AFS was amended to include the express and exclusive right for Accenture and its affiliates (include AFS) to license TMT to agencies of the US Federal Government. Therefore, AFS now has the same rights to use and license TMT as AVFS did previously. AVFS Corporation developed the TMT software and is the only company that sells and maintains the software. TMT is a custom solution which adds to and leverages a number of existing Microsoft technologies. USCENTCOM needs the ability to ensure the software remains current and expand its capabilities as they are developed being that this is a follow-on contract. Department CCJ6 is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the system and will at times need to contact the vendor for additional technical support, especially if software upgrades are needed. The implementation of the TMT requirement represents a combination of deep production configuration and some custom components to address customers' requirements. The expense to install and test a new system, train individuals to operate the system, and time necessary for the transition would result in a substantial and unacceptable loss of productivity and funding for the federal government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. Avanade developed the TMT capabilities and the TMT Customized and require specific network configurations that only Avanade/Accenture is able to provide. In a letter dated 02 Mar 2012. Accenture stated, "TMT and the underlying source code are still owned by Avanade Holdings LLP. AFS is now the sole seller of TMT and TMT maintenance which includes software upgrades and associated technical support. Accenture does not authorize resellers for TMT."
