D -- Maintenance Support for DSAMS-FORTE

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) plans to award a sole source contract to Sun Microsystems Inc., located in McLean, VA, for maintenance support of the Defense Security Assistance Development Center’s FORTE system. This contract will be awarded on a non-competitive basis under the authority of FAR Part 6.302-1. The procurement targets the provision of support services related to DSAMS-FORTE, aiming to ensure the continued operational effectiveness of this system. The contract falls under the NAICS code 541512, which pertains to computer systems design services, and the work will be managed by the DSCA office located in Arlington, VA. The contracting process is overseen by Contract Specialist James E. Washington Jr., who serves as the primary point of contact for this action, along with Contracting Officer Lisa M. Davis. The notification reflects the most current information available as of the posting date in August 2006 but is not a binding commitment by the government, and any significant updates will be communicated through subsequent notices if necessary. This action highlights the government’s intent to streamline procurement by directly engaging a vendor with unique capabilities for specialized maintenance support within the Department of Defense framework.
