- Description
- Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition This is a Notice of Intent to issue a solicitation on a Sole-Source Basis. DESC: INTENT TO AWARD A SINGLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation intends to negotiate on a sole source basis (for a Base and Four Option Year Contract) with Eagle Investment Systems, LLC,65 Lasalle Rd 3rd Floor, West Hartford, CT, 06107-2312, using the procedures in FAR Part 13.5 to acquire Eagle Investment Systems LLC Accounting and Data Management Solution (ADMS), which is used in a production environment, a disaster response (COOP) environment and three environments (development, system test and user acceptance test) to support PBGC's development and user acceptance testing of PBGC specific configurations and integration. Eagle Investment Systems was selected as uniquely qualified for the following reasons: The Trust Accounting System (TAS) is an investment portfolio and accounting solution operated by the Financial Operations Department (FOD) to support the accounting and financial reporting of investment assets, plan receivables, and liabilities related to terminated pension plans and the commingled investment portfolio through an application service provider model. TAS is based on the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) product, Eagle Investment Systems LLC Accounting and Data Management Solution (ADMS). This application is provided as a managed service to PBGC and is hosted by the application service provider Eagle Investment Systems LLC (Eagle), West Hartford, CT, 06107.. The hosting model provides PBGC with TAS software functionality and dedicated support with software housed on Eagle's hardware and infrastructure. Without this managed service provided by Eagle, PBGC would not be able to account for its trust portfolio representing over $90 billion. The Eagle ADMS application is a commercial off the shelf software product developed and supported exclusively by Eagle Investment Systems. Full and Open Competition resulting in the award of a product other than Eagle ADMS would necessitate a duplication of already expended effort, money and time. We anticipate approximately $7-10 million, two to three years, and a commitment of 5-10 PBGC Federal full-time equivalent resources would be required to evaluate and re-implement a new Trust Accounting System. PBGC has invested $11.35 million including $.65 million for evaluation of options, $9 million for implementation and $1.7 million for further enhancements. Eagle Investment Systems is the only source for the Eagle ADMS application and the only hosting provider who offers Eagle ADMS as a managed Service. There would be a substantial duplication of cost associated with implementing an alternative investment accounting system that is not expected to be recouped through competition. The full return on the Government's investment has not yet been realized and the Eagle product has not reached end-of-life. This authority is supported by an approved Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition). Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements (41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1). It is the Government's intent to proceed with this sole-source action under the North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 511210 and the size standard is $38.5 million. Please note that this is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all interested parties who believe they can meet the requirements are invited to submit in writing complete information describing their ability to provide EAGLE ADMS. Responses may be sent via email to Hufford.robert@pbgc.gov. Information received as a result of this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the PBGC not to open the requirement to competition, based on response to this notice, is solely within the discretion of PBGC. If the office has not received any affirmative written responses by 8:00 a.m. 21 March 2018, intent is to award a Sole Source Contract to Eagle Investment Systems, LLC,65 Lasalle Rd 3rd Floor, West Hartford, CT, 06107-2312. This Notice is for information and planning purposes only. It does not constitute an invitation for bid or a request for proposal and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. No costs will be paid for any charges incurred in responding to this notice.
