- Description
- Notice Type: Synopsis of Contract Action � Annual MPulse Subscription � Sole Source Award to Mpulse Software Inc. Justification, Statutory Authority: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) � Soliciting Competition; (b)Soliciting from a single source. (1)�For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. (i)�Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, and brand-name or industrial mobilization). The authority permitting the use of noncompetitive procedures is 41 U.S.C. 3304 (a)(1). Contract Award Date: TBD �Contract Award Number: TBD Synopsis: This is a Sole Source synopsis published for informational purposes only. The United States Air Force Test Center/Directorate of Contracting (AFTC/PZZG), Edwards AFB, CA intends to issue a sole source contract Mpulse Software Inc located at 455 Mesa ave Eugene, Oregon 97405-1909 to provide the MSP subscription at Edwards AFB, CA. The contract will be executed by means of other than full and open competition, due to Mpulse Software Inc being the only authorized vendor capable to renew these services. In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: Mpulse has been identified as an efficient, reliable, and the only sole source vendor capable of providing comprehensive software/user support that provides Cloud hosting service, with the most recent award being FA930224P0002, awarded 25 Apr 2024 also as a single source award to Mpulse Software Inc. The Government does not perceive the benefits as outweighing the duplication costs which would result from a new source for this requirement. Mpulse, as the proprietary manufacturer, has the ability to meet mission schedules and most importantly, mission requirements and specifications for the unique software services necessary. As a result, a Synopsis of Contract Action will be posted to SAM.gov to outline the justifications for this single source acquisition, followed by an RFQ letter sent to Mpulse Software Inc. There are no solicitation documents; however, any vendors that believe they can meet the requirements described should submit a complete technical package, which provides clear and convincing evidence that they can meet the Government�s requirement. Contractors must be registered in System for Award (SAM) at www.sam.gov Please submit all questions, comments, and feedback regarding this product to the following Points of Contact: Mr. Adam R.
