The contract will be awarded to The Ohio State University doing business as Oarnet. Market research was previously conducted, and it has been determined that this is a sole source requirement IAW FAR 6.302-1, FAR 13.106-1(b) and DAFFARS 5313.106-1(b). This is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is available at this time. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. Interested sources must respond in writing with clear and convincing evidence to support their ability to provide the required supplies/services within five (5) days of this publication. A determination by the Government not to compete this action based on responses received is solely within the discretion of the Government.Authority: 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Justification: Supplies required are available from only one or a limited number of responsible source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Market research was conducted with only one respondent, Oarnet is able to meet the government-s requirement. Oarnet is the only maintenance source for AFIT's continued use of the Oarnet VMWare subscription maintenance of the licenses AFIT leases. No other vendor can provide required support and maintenance of the Oarnet VMWare Horizon View managed licenses. Furthermore, if the government procured VMWare Horizon View licenses from an alternative source, AFIT would incur the cost of purchasing a new suite of licenses with maintenance which is prohibitively expensive.
