--INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT TO QUALITY SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT (QSMI)

The Defense Contracting Command in Washington, acting on behalf of the U.S. Army and the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (OUSD(AT&L)), plans to award a sole source contract to Quality Systems Management, Inc. (QSMI), located in Annandale, Virginia. This contract involves the continued implementation of the OSD Enterprise Personnel Tracking System, a software solution currently utilized by OUSD(AT&L). QSMI is uniquely qualified as the exclusive agent controlling the software’s source code, justifying the sole source nature of this procurement under FAR 6.302-1. The contract term will be twelve months from the award date. This award is specifically designated as a 100% small business set-aside, and no competitive solicitation will be issued, meaning there is no request for quotes or request for proposals. The contracting office handling this award is based in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Interested parties or inquiries can be directed to the assigned contract specialist, Laurel Baker, via phone or email. This action supports maintaining continuity in the management of the critical personnel tracking system under the Department of Defense’s oversight.
