The contract will be awarded to Deltek, Inc. Market research was previously conducted, and it has been determined that this is a sole source requirement IAW FAR 13.106-1(b) and AFFARS 5313.106-1(b). This is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is available at this time. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. Interested sources must respond in writing with clear and convincing evidence to support their ability to provide the required supplies/services within ten (10) days of this publication. A determination by the Government not to compete this action based on responses received is solely within the discretion of the Government. Authority: 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Justification: Supplies required are available from only one or a limited number of responsible source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Market research was conducted with only one respondent, Deltek, Inc., that is able to meet the government's requirement. The perpetual wInsight Software is only licensed and sold directly by DELTEK. DELTEK is the sole distributor of perpetual wInsight licensed software. DELTEK is the only maintenance source for the continued use of government program office perpetual wInsight licenses. No other vendor can provide required support and maintenance of the wInsight software managed licenses. Furthermore, if the government procured wInsight software licenses from an alternative source, there would be unnecessary delays and duplication of costs associated with purchasing a new suite of licenses with maintenance which is prohibitively expensive.
