- Description
- Notice of Intent to issue a Brand Name Only Request for Quotes for IBM Cognos Maintenance Agreement. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) intends to issue a brand name/limited source RFQ for IMB Cognos software annual maintenance agreement. NETL IT Division has made a determination that the continuance of the maintenance agreement is more cost effective then procuring new equipment. The current software continues to have a useful life and has not been identified for replacement by the Investment Review Board (IRB). Failure to continue the maintenance agreement will put the NETL at risk of failure or loss of service that could severely impact the organizations ability to operate in an efficient and effective manner. The maintenance agreement ensures continued use of the software and covers replacement units and upgrades of the system necessary to keep the units operable within the NETL operating environment. The period of performance for this effort will be a 12-month base period. The total estimated value is less than $27,000.00. This is considered a brand name/limited source only for IBM Cognos Maintenace, to the best of the NETL ™s knowledge, based on market research conducted, IBM Cognos is the only known brand source that can provide this type of service. No known potential alternate sources exist which could satisfy NETL's requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for quote/proposal. Any interested party that believes it is capable of meeting the NETL requirement described herein may identify themselves and must provide evidence of their capability to fulfill the requirement being requested by 3:00 PM ET on May 17, 2018. Responses must be submitted in writing to shannon.lynch@netl.doe.gov no later than the time and date noted above. Telephone responses and requests will not be received. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
