- Description
- This is a Notice of Proposed Contract Action under FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This notice is for information only; a solicitation will not be issued. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541990 with a small business size standard of $15M. The Government requires Vorteks software maintenance service and training. Vorteks is a Government off the Shelf (GOTS) Visual Analytics software operational tool that provides capabilities that are unavailable with another visualization tool. The degree of complexity of the software requires skilled Vorteks developers to maintain the software and train users. Maintenance of the software provides the necessary adjustments to operating systems for updates and security upgrades to the host machines to allow the software to be in operational format within a reasonable timeframe if disabled due to system updates and security upgrades. Training of the Vorteks software that is provided to the Government allows users to take full advantage of the technical and analytic functions supported and the ability to train additional Government users. The Government has determined that no other source can meet this requirement. Qualta Consulting has been the sole developer on the Vorteks Visual Analytics Software tool suite and is the only company who knows the software development code. Other visual analytics software companies could potentially take years to learn the code to provide the services required. The government intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Qualta Consulting, LLC 7411 W Clearwater Ave Bldg C2, Kennewick, WA, 99336-1683. This is a notice of proposed contract action and not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal, which shall be considered by the agency. All inquiries should be sent by email to Erin.Saunders@us.af.mil. Responses must be submitted by the date/time listed on the notice. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements. Responses received will be evaluated; however a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government anticipates an award date on or before 30 September 2019. A Sole Source Justification will be attached to the subsequent Notice of Award. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (21-AUG-2019); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT 877-472-3779 or fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
