70--NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ERDC Contracting Office) plans to award a sole source contract to Itrezzo, Inc. for the procurement of proprietary server software licenses and maintenance services, specifically for Itrezzo EPS and SSU products. This acquisition involves purchasing 2,500 new server software licenses and maintenance coverage for an additional 8,500 licenses. The contract will be awarded using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under the authority of FAR Part 13.5, and the government intends to acquire this commercial item following FAR Part 12 regulations. Due to the proprietary nature of the software, Itrezzo, Inc. is the only authorized supplier. Interested parties are invited to submit written notices of their capability to perform the work by a specified deadline, July 12, 2011, by 4:00 p.m. local time, although such submissions will be reviewed solely to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted instead of proceeding on a sole source basis. No solicitation or request for proposal will be issued as a result of this notice, and oral communications are not acceptable. Parties wishing to respond should submit information referencing the solicitation number to the designated email contact provided by the government.
