Synopsis: This is a synopsis notice for commercial supplies as prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 5.207, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, there is only one responsible source and no other suppliers or services will satisfy the agency requirements, under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). All responsible sources may identify their interest and submit a capability statement or proposal which shall be considered by the agency except that foreign participation is NOT permitted. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and does not constitute a solicitation. However, all proposals received within 15 days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the U.S. Air Force. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The U.S. Air Force established a requirement for the solicitation and procurement of Microsoft Licenses for the Hill Enterprise Data Center (HEDC) located on Hill Air Force Base. The existing licenses must be updated to reflect accurate count required for the software License-Right-to-use for all applications/systems hosted in the HEDC Windows Enterprise Environment. This noncompetitive contract action taken under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 is justified based on the mandatory use of the Microsoft Joint Enterprise License Agreement (JELA) required in the performance of the contract. Award to any other vendor would violate AFMAN 33-153 and other Air Force publications mandating the use of the JELA. The Government intends to award this requirement as a noncompetitive contract action to Insight Public Sector, Inc., 22721 E. Mission, Liberty Lake, WA 99019-7504, United States (CAGE: 575H6). This will be accomplished via a sole source contract. It is anticipated that a solicitation will be issued on or about 17 July 2015 and contract award will occur on approximately 31 July 2015. Delivery will be to 6090 Gum Lane, Building 1211, Hill Air Force Base, Utah 84056-5825. Respondents are requested to specify whether they are large business, small business, small disadvantaged business, 8(a) concern, women-owned SB, Hubzone SB, Veteran-owned SB, or Service-disabled veteran- owned SB, and whether U.S. or foreign-owned firm. Be advised that periodic access to the websites listed above is essential for obtaining updated documentation and the latest information regarding the procurement.
