99--NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE

The United States Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground intends to award a two-year firm-fixed-price delivery order under the Army Computer Hardware Enterprise Software Solutions (CHESS) Blanket Purchase Agreement. This contract, which includes a base year plus one option year, is a sole source award directed to Mythics Inc. The award is in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and U.S. Code provisions that allow for non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source can meet the agency’s needs. The contract focuses on providing software maintenance and support for Oracle Database software utilized by the Program Manager Distributed Common Ground System-Army (PM DCGS-A). Specifically, this action seeks to extend the Oracle/DCGS Unlimited License Agreement for continued software maintenance and support. The North American Industry Classification System code associated with this acquisition is 541511, relevant to custom computer programming services. The synopsis was posted on May 8, 2015, and responses indicating interest and capability were solicited until May 19, 2015. Although this notice serves as a statement of intent to award rather than a request for proposals or quotes, interested parties could submit their information for consideration. However, the government retains sole discretion to decide whether to open the requirement to competition based on these responses. The designated point of contact for this procurement is Contracting Officer Vaishali Maisuria, whose email is provided for communication purposes.
