AI Contract Overview

The Social Security Administration (SSA) plans to negotiate exclusively with Open Text Corporation for the purchase of the Livelink Eloquent Media Server (EMS), a unique media software product integrated with Livelink, which supports "just-in-time" training by enabling content storage within the Livelink repository. EMS enhances the organization's existing Livelink software, offering a knowledge delivery environment intended to distribute critical information across corporate or agency users. Open Text Corporation is identified as the sole source that has licensed trainers for Livelink EMS and the only provider capable of meeting SSA’s specific technical requirements. While SSA intends to negotiate only with Open Text Corporation if no other qualified sources come forward, it invites other organizations with relevant expertise and resources to submit information about their capabilities, experience, and pricing data by May 14, 2004. Submissions will be used for SSA’s assessment of potential sources but will not constitute a request for proposal, with no guaranteed contract award or reimbursement for the information provided. If no viable alternatives are identified by this date, SSA will proceed with exclusive negotiations with Open Text Corporation. The point of contact for this matter is Cynthia M. Spencer, Contract Specialist at SSA.
