Hurlburt Field is an Air Force installation that is located in the Florida Panhandle mid-way between Panama City, Florida and Pensacola. 1. Renewal of maintenance agreement for Hurlburt Library's automated library software, Sirsi.Net. The software controls all library processes including circulation of materials, cataloging of materials and maintenance and access to databases of library customers and all library materials. Software provides customers with Web access from remote locations as required by Golden Eagle Standards. Software provides customers with Web access to subscription databases and specialized information resources. 2. Sirsi.Net is a proprietary product of SIRSI Corp. SIRSI Corp is the only authorized source to provide technical service and support for this software. All integrated library system (ILS) software products are unique, proprietary products. While another ILS could perform the functionality of Sirsi.Net, all ILS products will be sole source in regard to maintenance agreements. 3. Sirsi Corp is the only known source that can satisfy the government's requirements for maintenance of the existing software package. 4. Hurlburt Library's use of Sirsi.Net is shared with 17 other libraries in AFSOC and ACC. This group purchase has resulted in a cost much lower than purchasing an individual license of Sirsi.Net or any comparable product. Changing ILS would incur costs estimated at $100K and would not prevent future sole source acquisitions. This acquisition is unrestricted. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this project is 511210 with a size standard of $21,000,000; the SIC code is S113. Any resulting Purchase order shall be firm-fixed-price. All responsible sources may submit their capabilities statement which shall be considered by the 1st Special Operations Contracting Squadron.
