- Description
- I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with PeopleFluent only for purchase of OrgPublisher annual software maintenance.The total estimated cost of this effort is $XX,XX and the estimated period of performance is a 12 month base period, from April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015 and option period one (April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016) and option period two (April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017.) This recommendation is made pursuant to FAR 13.106(b)(1) for soliciting from a single source. Further competition is impractical for the following reason: 1. PeopleFluent provides proprietary access to OrgPublisher provides maintenance support that enables users to rapidly chart, view model and analyze organizational hierarchies and human capital information. The software not only automates the process of building accurate organizational charts but also makes them available in MS Power Point or MS Excel via a corporate intranet using any Web browser. The maintenance agreement allows product upgrades, participation in pre-release software evaluations as well as product upgrades as they are released. 2.Previous attempts to solicit on a full and open basis via NASA SEWP, which was the method of previously used to acquire the services.The results yield no responses. No other supplies or services will satisfy the agencys requirement and no other provider can supply similar service. 3.Some of the services described in paragraph 1 are available from other sources; however, only OrgPublisher provides access to such broad range of management and performance tools, which are critical to the overall performance of the NSSC. 4.Extensive market research was conducted including a review of the products offered by PeopleFluent. These sources offered specific, service line products such as Visio Professional 2013, SAP Org Visualation by Nakisa and Ghostbox Org and Staff Chart, but none provided the detailed charting data and resources available through OrgPublisher. NASA previously contacted for the same services under contract XXXXX which further substanties the need for the continuity of services that OrgPublisher will provide. Based on the above, it is determined that only one source can fulfill the Governments need for this acquisition. Pursuant to FAR 5.101(a) (1), the proposed contract action has been published on the Government-wide Point of Entry and no response were received The facts included herein and supporting data are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
