- Description
- This requirement is for the award of a contract on a sole source basis to Global Technologies Group, Inc. (GTGI) for support and maintenance of software and hardware for an existing Global Digital Asset Management System (GDAMS) in support of Navy Office of Information (CHINFO) HQ. Award to another vendor would dramatically increase costs with the acquisition of a new Digital Asset Management system. In addition to the annual maintenance costs associated with a new system, added costs include software, installation, customization, integration with existing systems, migration of hundreds of thousands of media files, and initial and ongoing system training. It is estimated that award to another vendor would cause a delay of at least one year and based on the need to familiarize with the internal network architecture, re-engineer the workflow, and re-catalog the data. Additionally, an on-site response time of 48 hours is critical to maintaining operational readiness for CHINFO; switching to another service provider may jeopardize the ability to resolve issues within 48 hours as the current provider maintains the knowledge and familiarity with our requirements and processes. In addition, MediaBeacon has confirmed that GTGI is the only reseller of MediaBeacon software in the Washington, DC area, and, therefore, is the only vendor capable of providing on-site response within CHINFO ™s 48-hour timeframe. Maintaining the system ™s technologically current status is critical to CHINFO ™s continued readiness and daily functionality as the official spokesman for the Department of the Navy and the primary point of release for both still and video imagery for use by the commercial media. The GDAMS system is essential to the central mission function of processing, production, and release of imagery to CHINFO ™s customers. GTGI designed, technically integrated, installed, and has supported and maintained the system exclusively. Update or maintenance of the system by any other source would compromise its operational readiness, require familiarization time at additional expense, and void CHINFO ™s current maintenance contract. Such a situation is unacceptable, making GTGI the only available source for the required goods and services.
