70 -- FIELD CONTROL SOFTWARE

The Fleet and Industrial Supply Center (FISC) Norfolk, Philadelphia Office, is seeking to procure Field Control software, an enhancement to the MAXIMO Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) software. The Field Control software includes key components such as the Dynamic Value List (DVL), Field Security, and Data Flow Control, and is intended to improve the functionality of the existing MAXIMO system. This acquisition is being pursued through a sole source agreement with MRO Software, Inc., located in Bedford, MA, as authorized under Section 4202 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 and FAR 13.501(a). MRO Software is recognized as the exclusive provider of this software and its licensing agreements, making competitive proposals unnecessary. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed price agreement based on the quotation from MRO Software, Inc. While this is not a solicitation for competitive bids, the FISC Norfolk Contracting Department welcomes interested parties to express their interest and demonstrate technical capabilities related to the requirement. Any potential respondents should direct their communications to Ms. Kathleen Lockhart at the specified Navy email address. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 541511, indicating an information technology services context, and was publicly posted in December 2006. The process underscores the government’s intent to secure specialized software solutions directly from the sole source provider to support naval logistics and industrial supply operations.
