Renewal of Seat Maintenance (3,000 Seats) for Rocket Software's BlueZone Emulator Software

Description

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) announces its intention to contract with Rocket Software, Inc. (Waltham, MA) for renewal of seat maintenance (3,000 seats) for its perpetual license of the BlueZone Emulator Software. The period of performance will be from 9/17/2016 through 9/16/2017. This procurement is based on a brand name and will be procured on a sole source basis as permitted by FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Rocket Software is the only source for this requirement because (1) DEA's analysis of the feasibility of purchasing and implementing competing software finds that it would not be technically nor economically justified, and (2) Rocket Software's exclusive proprietary rights to the installed software preclude all other sources from meeting the Government's requirement. The required Limited Sources Documentation is attached. DEA is not soliciting alternative sources for this requirement. This notice is made in compliance with FAR 5.102(a)(6) and 5.201(b)(1).
