EBUY SAS SOFTWARE

J&A 6.302-1(a) The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on behalf of the Department of the Treasury intends to make a sole source award to Executive Information Systems "EIS" for the purchase of SAS software maintenance utilizing the General Services Administration "GSA" Schedule 70 under the authority of 8.405-6. EIS is the only authorized reseller of the SAS product and is only available through the GSA Schedule. The Department of the Treasury has a need for SAS software to support current SAS software on the OpenVMS SAS Applications statistical software for Treasury's Office of Tax Analysis. This maintenance is required as this software is a major component in the Department of the Treasury systems to provide functionality in support a diverse rage of policy, econometric and statistical analyses and is mission critical. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is Section 303(c) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended by the Competition in Contracting Act [41 U.S.C. 253(c) (1)], implemented under FAR 6.302-1(a), which authorizes other than full and open competition when there is only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This is not a solicitation for proposals or an invitation for bids. The Government does not anticipate receiving responses to this notice of a non-competitive action. The period of performance is from the 10/01/2012 to 09/30/2013. Questions can be emailed to [email protected]
