SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
The United States Department of Agriculture’s Office of the Chief Information Officer, Digital Infrastructure Services Center, intends to award a purchase order on a sole-source basis for renewal of maintenance and support for its existing MVS/QuickRef mainframe software. The USDA mainframe platform relies on these tools for continued operation and requires ongoing maintenance and technical support.
MVS/QuickRef provides online access to message descriptions and programming information on MVS systems. The software is proprietary, and Chicago Soft, Ltd. is identified as the owner and developer. Legal restrictions, source-code ownership, and the specialized expertise required to modify, correct, license, and support the products limit authorized maintenance and support sources.
This notice is not a request for competitive proposals or quotations. Responsible sources may submit a capability statement, including technical capabilities, pricing, and other information demonstrating the ability to meet the requirement by the deadline. The Government will use responses for market research and planning and retains discretion over whether to compete the requirement.
