Single Source Notice – FAA OpenText ApplicationXtender (AX) software

In accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acquisition Management System (AMS) Policy Section 3.2.2.4, the purpose of this announcement is to inform industry of the basis for the FAA's decision to contract on a single source basis for name-brand “OpenTextâ€� ApplicationXtender (AX) software. The FAA has a requirement to procure software, support and maintenance, and professional services required to (a) renew OpenText ApplicationXtender (AX) software licenses, support, and maintenance; and (b) migrate the current version of the AX software from version 4.61.016 to version 16.4, for the Electronic Document Retrieval Systems (EDRS II) utilized by the Civil Aviation Registry Aircraft Division at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. OpenText AX is the only known software capable of meeting the FAA’s specific requirement for this type of software to be used specifically with the Civil Aviation Registry Aircraft Division’s EDRS II. Accordingly, the FAA has identified authorized resellers/distributors and as such will conduct a limited competition specifically for renewal of OpenText ApplicationXtender (AX) software licenses, support, and maintenance; and migration from the current version of the AX software, and only among the authorized resellers. The FAA is not seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals. The FAA is not liable for any costs associated with the preparing of a response to this announcement.
