The Bureau of Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service), on behalf of The Bureau of Fiscal Service’s Office of Information and Security Services (ISS), intends to contract with Fidelity National Information Services, Inc (dba FIS Global, 601 Riverside Ave, Jacksonville, FL, 32204), on a sole source basis. There is no competitive vendor or regulatory agency that provides these datasets. The proposed Contractor developed and owns the propriety and patented hardware, software and algorithms that are used in these products and support the services specifically required for this acquisition; thereby the proposed source has the sole unique technical and other resources required for this acquisition. The Bureau of the Fiscal Service, Office of Information and Security Service (ISS) has a requirement for FIS Global TREEV and Vector:Connexion maintenance renewals. This software is used to facilitate COLD storage on the mainframe and to enable electronic payment & collection services between multiple Federal agencies. FIS Global TREEV and Vector:Connexion software is used by ISS for its COLD storage on the mainframe and electronic data interchange (EDI) payment & collection services between multiple Federal agencies. The software in question has been licensed for use by Fiscal Service since 2003. The current requirement is for maintenance renewal. The software is proprietary to FIS Global, and FIS Global is the only source of licenses, maintenance, and support for the software. A third-party maintenance provider not authorized by FIS Global would negate the licenses for the software and would not be able to provide FIS Global-authorized maintenance and support. ISS currently use the proposed contractor’s brand name product for the continuing mission to enable electronic payment & collection services between multiple Federal agencies. The period of performance for the purchase order is anticipated to be one 6-month base period. The total estimated value of this purchase order will not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.
