Maintenance Support Renewal for Vanguard Software Products

On September 29, 2009, the Defense Information Systems Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price contract valued at 252,870.00 dollars to Vanguard Integrity Professionals, Inc., a small business based in Las Vegas, Nevada. The agreement serves to renew expiring software licensing and maintenance support for proprietary Vanguard software products utilized by DISA Computing Services. The period of performance spans one year, from October 1, 2009, through September 30, 2010, with the place of performance covering all worldwide processing environments where DISA maintains computing services responsibilities. The contract was issued as an other than full and open competition under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, as the software is proprietary and Vanguard was identified as the only responsible source capable of providing the required maintenance. The solicitation, identified by number HC1028-09-T-2200 and NAICS code 541511, was managed by the Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization at Scott AFB, Illinois. Vanguard was the sole offeror and the incumbent provider for these services.
