The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has a requirement for the following items: CLIN 0001: P/N DATA-14, NT DataMaster Workstation Licenses (Qty = 8) Period of performance is expected to be approximately 08/31/2007 to 08/30/2008 CLIN 0002: P/N TS-DATA-14, Technical Support for 5-14 DataMaster Workstation Licenses (Qty = 8) BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION: Boeing S&IS Mission Systems is the sole producer of DataMaster software. DataMaster software is already integrated into the NGA enterprise and it would not be in the best interest of the Government to procure a new software program in place of our current DataMaster products. New programs would not meet NGA's requirements of form, fit, and function, nor could they be placed into our infrastructure quickly and easily. It would be very costly to introduce new software into our enterprise and would require a lagre amount of time to test new software and to re-train our personnel to use the new programs. Adding a new brand of software into our system would result in unacceptable work delays and substantially inflated costs. Maintenance will be performed at NGA Washington Navy Yard, 1200 First St SE, Washington, DC 20303 in the quantities listed above. The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation, with no obligation to the offeror by the Government.
