The following documentation constitutes the rationale for this decision. DOCUMENTATION: (1) Requiring Activity: DFAS, TCO-CS, Bratenahl, OH (2) Supplies or services being procured: Provide and install new components contained within the DFAS-TCO-CS, Bratenahl, OH, Helpdesk Wall Monitoring System. The system is critical to the daily nature of DFAS business as well as the reliance of on-going continued 24 x 7 service of the ELAN. The helpdesk monitoring wall needs to be fully functional and operational to ensure ongoing service to DFAS Customers. (3) Reason that this is sole source procurement (i.e., proposed contractor's unique qualifications, etc.): Compatibility with existing Software/Hardware Environment. This monitoring system was customized, programmed, and - designed built over 10 years ago for integration with the DFAS Network Infrastructure by Miami Computer Products & Consulting (MCPC). The related systems and monitoring wall was customized and built to be fully integrated with the DFAS Network Infrastructure for the remote monitoring of systems and related equipment at DFAS sites and centers. The original installation of the Helpdesk Monitoring Wall was customized by MCPC to fully integrate with our current infrastructure and they hold the proprietary, custom built programming codes, and hardware configurations for the system interfacing. MCPC has provided DFAS functional monitoring devices with minimal upkeep or replacement costs or expenditures. The agency has been fortunate over the years to maintain the system and its functionality since the original build, proving to be a solid return on investment for the agency. However, due to the age and the onset of some recent key equipment failures, it is necessary to take measures in upgrading the equipment with replacements and newer technology. This requirement will allow the system to fully interface to the maximum extent for the near future. (4) Market survey (indicate if any other firms were contacted or expressed interest) MCPC does not have a GSA contract. However, they are a federal government vendor active in the Central Contractor Registration and are not on the Excluded Parties List System. No documentation was found to exist for the original procurement. ANTICIPATED PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE/ DELIVERY SCHEDULE: Request you quote your best delivery for the above referenced equipment. The purchase of the components will take place within 15 days, and POP does not apply. The inspection and acceptance and F.O.B. will be at destination. No offers are due as this is a Sole Source requirement.
