This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation will only be open for 24 hours due to the Government Continuing Resolution. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541519. The requirement is for the following McCabe items: CLIN 0001: Renewal of Maintenance for 56 McCabe 1Q Maintenance, M-IQ-Server, Period of Performance February 01, 2011 - January 31, 2012 CLIN 0002: Renewal of Maintenance on 56 McCabe IQ Linux Extension Software, Period of Performance February 01, 2011 - January 31, 2012 BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION: NGA has a requirement for the brand name software licenses and annual software maintenance coverage as outlined above. All of the products referenced in this posting are proprietary products of McCabe. The McCabe suite of software has already been integrated into the NGA enterprise. Due to this fact, it would be extremely costly to switch to a different type of software. Personnel would have to be trained to use the new software and NGA would suffer unacceptable production delays due to the implementation of the software. The McCabe IQ Software suite is the only software suite that fulfills the salient features of this requirement at this time. McCabe Software, Inc. is the sole source provider of the McCabe Software Suite Maintenance.
