Software maintenance support of Integra Suite

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS (RFQ). The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis for a commercial contract with Oracle for providing software maintenance support for the Integra suite, including Access, Apps, Codebase, and Transaction. The period of performance is October 1, 2008, through September 30, 2009, with four one-year options. Oracle holds the proprietary rights to the current version of Integra, the Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software used as OFHEO's internal controls monitoring software. Due to the proprietary nature of the COTS software and the need for maintenance and any necessary modifications to that software to meet the requirements to support OFHEO's program and mission, it is believed that no other entity possesses the ability or the rights to maintain the proprietary software. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541519 with a size standard of $23 million. NO SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS (RFQ) IS AVAILABLE. Notwithstanding, any firm that believes it is capable of satisfying OFHEO's requirements may submit a written capabilities statement, which if received by the response date of this announcement, will be considered. Responses must be submitted in writing to Mr. Janice L. Uthe, Contracting Officer, at [email protected] . A determination not to compete the requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
