--The Government's Intent to Award a Sole Source Procurement.

The US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity intends to award a sole source contract to Open Text Corporation for the annual software support and upgrades of their existing system. The decision to proceed without full and open competition is based on the risk of significant delays, disruption of ongoing key projects, and increased costs that would result from sourcing this requirement from a different manufacturer or system. This procurement is conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302, allowing other responsible sources to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations within fifteen days of the announcement; if no responses are received, the award will be made without further notice. The solicitation, identified as USA-SNOTE-080328-007, relates to services categorized under NAICS code 541511. Despite being a sole source action, the agency remains open to considering submissions from qualified parties during the specified period. The primary contact for this procurement is Craig E. Anderson, accessible via email, who handles inquiries and communications related to this contract opportunity.
