***NOAA'S ACQUISITION & GRANTS OFFICE, EASTERN ACQUISITION DIVISION-NORFOLK, OFFICE OF MARINE AND AVIATION OPERATIONS (OMAO) MISSION SUPPORT DIVISION INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), WITH INTELEX TECHNOLOGIES ULC, OUT OF ONTARIO, CANADA FOR INTELEX LICENSES AND SUPPORT ANNUAL RENEWAL.
***THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION'S (NOAA) REQUIREMENT THAT INTELEX TECHNOLOGIES ULC IS THE SOLE PROVIDER OF INTELEX SOFTWARE LICENSES AND SUPPORT AND THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORIZED PARTNERS/RESELLERS WHO CAN PROVIDE ANNUAL LICENSE AND SUPPORT RENEWAL.
OFFICE OF MARINE AND AVIATION OPERATIONS HAS A REQUIREMENT FOR SUPPORT SPECIFIC FOR MIGRATION OF DATABASE TO NEW SERVER AND UPGRADING VERSION OF SOFTWARE FOR INTELEX. ANNUAL MAINTENANCE RENEWALS ON INTELEX APPLICATION LICENSES PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED IN FY2006 THROUGH FY2023 FOR THE VENDOR TO PROVIDE CONTINUED SUPPORT AND PROVIDED CRITICAL SECURITY UPDATES AND APPLICATION UPGRADES OF THE LICENSED PRODUCTS. APPLICATION PROVIDES DATABASE TOOLS FOR KEY MANAGEMENT DECISIONS. INTELEX SOFTWARE PROVIDES DASHBOARD REAL-TIME STATUS AND CUSTOMIZABLE REPORTS TO SUPERVISORS AND UPPER MANAGEMENT ON ACCIDENTS, INCIDENTS, CASUALTIES, AND PROVIDES TRACKING OF INTERNAL INSPECTION DEFICIENCIES. THIS COST WOULD BE MUCH HIGHER THAN THE ESTIMATED COST OF THIS LICENSE MAINTENANCE RENEWAL. INTELEX SOFTWARE PROVIDES MODULES FOR SAFETY MANAGEMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS. IN ADDITION TO ACCIDENT AND CASUALTY DATA, OMAO FLEET INSPECTION PROCESS CURRENTLY RELIES ON THE DATABASE SYSTEM TO TRACK OPEN INSPECTION UNTIL CLOSURE IS REPORTED. LICENSES ARE ACTIVELY DEPLOYED WITHIN OMAO OF THIS APPLICATION AND WOULD REQUIRE FULL APPLICATION LICENSING REPLACEMENT IF MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT COULD NOT BE MAINTAINED.
MARKET RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED AND NO OTHER VENDOR OR PRODUCT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS THAT HAVE EVOLVED THROUGH THE USE OF THE INTELEX APPLICATION SINCE FY2006. THIS INCLUDES DATABASE TOOLS FOR KEY MANAGEMENT DECISIONS. INTELEX SOFTWARE PROVIDES DASHBOARD REAL-TIME STATUS AND CUSTOMIZABLE REPORTS TO SUPERVISORS AND UPPER MANAGEMENT ON ACCIDENTS, INCIDENTS, CASUALTIES, AND PROVIDES TRACKING OF INTERNAL INSPECTION DEFICIENCIES. PRIOR NOAA CONTRACT WAS AWARDED IN 2021 TO INTELEX TECHNOLOGIES ULC,133MK21PNMAN0103, FOR ANNUAL LICENSE AND SUPPORT RENEWAL.
