D--Intent to Sole Source - Empirix

The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole source contract to Empirix for the procurement of e-Load software licenses, which are proprietary to Empirix. This contract will be executed using commercial item procedures according to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 and FAR 6.302-1, allowing for other than full and open competition. The licenses are needed to support a project within the VA Office of Information and Technology (OI&T).

The anticipated award date for this contract is August 13, 2007. While this notice is not a solicitation for offers, interested parties may submit written inquiries or comments by email, referencing the intent to sole source Empirix. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 541511, which pertains to custom computer programming services. All pertinent inquiries are directed to the email provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
