Contracting Activity
Description of Action:
The proposed action is for a firm-fixed-price task order awarded under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) for International Business Machines (IBM) FileNet P8 v5.2 Annual Software Subscription and Technical Support (further referred to herein as IBM FileNet Software Subscription and Technical Support) for currently licensed software.
Description of the Supplies or Services:
VA Financial Services Center (FSC) requires IBM FileNet Software Subscription and Technical Support in order to maintain the software licenses and maintenance agreements for the existing FSC Enterprise Content Management program. The contractor shall provide all necessary maintenance support, to include patches and upgrades, and shall ensure that the IBM FileNet software licenses are operational and performance is not degraded. The maintenance will also include access to the IBM technical support portal, the ability to enter service requests, 24x7 phone support and access to IBM knowledge base resources. The IBM FileNet Software Subscription and Technical Support will provide access to defect correction information, restrictions, bypasses, and new releases and versions IBM makes generally available.
Statutory Authority:
The statutory authority permitting an exception to fair opportunity is Section 41 U.S.C. 4106(c)(2) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B), entitled “Only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized.”
Rationale Supporting Use of Authority Cited Above:
Based on market research as described in section 8 of this document, it was determined that limited competition is available among authorized resellers. FSC currently utilizes IBM FileNet software to store and manage document content in a central repository. The current FSC invoicing system communicates through software that is based on IBM proprietary source code. No other software maintenance can provide the required capability without that source code. Due to the proprietary nature of source code, another vendor could not properly patch and maintain the currently fielded software without the knowledge from the initial IBM source code. VA does not possess the proprietary technical data required to maintain and upgrade the IBM FileNet software in use at the FSC. Failure to acquire the maintenance subscription and support for this software would leave FSC without the necessary updates, bug fixes, and certified technical support to ensure the software remains operational. The Government contacted IBM in May 2015 to ascertain if this proprietary source code is for sale and was advised it is not for sale. The software maintenance subscription and technical support is required to ensure continuity of maintenance and support for the existing IBM FileNet software licenses supporting FSC.
Efforts to Obtain Competition:
Market research was conducted, details of which are in the market research section of this document. Limited competition among authorized IBM service providers is anticipated for the required software maintenance subscription and support services. In accordance with FAR 5.301 and 16.505(b)(2)(ii)(D), this action will be synopsized and this justification will be made publicly available on the Federal Business Opportunities Page within 14 days after award. In accordance with FAR 16.505(a)(4)(iii)(A), this justification will be posted with the request for quote on the NASA SEWP V GWAC.
Actions to Increase Competition:
In order to remove or overcome barriers to competition in future acquisitions for the requirements described herein, the Government’s technical experts will continue to perform market research to determine if there are changes in the market place that would enable future actions to be competed.
Market Research:
The Government technical experts reviewed other software maintenance service providers available on the NASA SEWP V GWAC in June 2015. Although these sources may be able to provide general maintenance capabilities, none could provide the required maintenance to sustain the existing IBM FileNet software without access to the IBM proprietary source code. In addition, market research was conducted in January 2015 to ascertain if other products could satisfy VA’s requirements. Specifically, VA subject matter experts reviewed Microsoft SharePoint and OpenText Enterprise Content Management Software Suite brands and determined that neither product could seamlessly integrate into the existing FSC content management business processes and framework currently based on IBM FileNet products. Based upon this market research, only IBM FileNet software licenses can meet all of FSC’s current needs. Finally, market research was conducted to ascertain the extent of limited competition among resellers. A Request for Information (RFI) was posted by the Contract Specialist in May 2015 via the NASA SEWP V GWAC to identify potential sources for the required software subscription and technical support. Responses to the RFI were received from three Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) GWAC holders and an additional six SDVOSB GWAC holders were identified as resellers of IBM products and services. Potential SDVOSB sources include Better Direct; Four, Inc.; Premier Technical; Epoch Concepts (SDVOSB); Four Points Technology (SDVOSB); NAMTEK (SDVOSB); RedHawk (SDVOSB); and Regan Technologies (SDVOSB). Lastly, after reviewing the NASA SEWP V GWAC website in May and June 2015 utilizing the NASA SEWP V GWAC Provider look-up tool, 34 resellers were identified that could potentially meet VA’s needs. Therefore, limited competition is anticipated for this effort.
