Notice of Intent to Sole Source
The Centers for Disease Control and prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Sterling Computers for Oracle Premier Support for Systems. DSNS's suggested vendor is Sterling Computers. Oracle supports its vendor network by requiring customers to reuse the vendor or origin for repeat business. If the customer chooses another vendor then a new customer fee is charged for switching vendors. Oracle's partnering agreement with their vendors only allows customers to renew support agreement with the vendor of origin without paying a substantial new customer fee for each time the customer switches vendors.
This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within twelve (12) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract 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. Any quotation/response should be emailed to William Brannen at [email protected] by 3:00 P.M. EST, June 2nd, 2014
