Purchase of JBoss Software and license

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) plans to acquire JBoss software and its licenses through a non-competitive procurement process, citing FAR 6.302-1, which permits sole-source acquisitions when only one responsible source can fulfill the agency's requirements. This notice serves solely as an informational announcement and is not a solicitation or request for competitive proposals or quotes. Interested parties are invited to submit written responses with sufficient evidence of their capability to meet the requirement, though the government retains sole discretion on whether to proceed with a competitive procurement in the future. Responses must be received by 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on December 7, 2017. The purchase is to be made as part of a GSA Schedule order, with the place of performance identified as Woodlawn, Maryland. Contact points for this acquisition include Adam Forgione, the Contracting Officer, reachable via email or phone. The solicitation number associated with this effort is CMS-01182018, and the relevant NAICS code is 541512, indicating involvement in computer systems design services. This announcement provides an opportunity for vendors to demonstrate their capacity to supply JBoss software but does not guarantee further procurement action.
