Justification for Sole Source: The Microsoft Campus Agreement is a 3-year program through Microsoft and its resellers that allows accredited academic institutions to take advantage of academic pricing. DINFOS relies on the Microsoft suite of applications, server products, and operating systems both for staff and faculty daily operations, as well as, classroom instruction and student computer labs. This Campus Agreement provides license coverage for 300 staff and up to 1200 student workstation loads for its core systems and applications. This service is vital to the mission of DINFOS. This proprietary, vendor-specific hardware/software is currently in operational use at DINFOS. This is a 3-year lease agreement renewable yearly with CDW-G that was awarded the contract in FY2005 through competitive acquisition. The process to initially establish the paperwork baseline required by Microsoft for this service was extensive. The current documentation required by Microsoft to remain in the program resides with CDW-G. This announcement constitutes the only notice; a written solicitation will not be issued. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, the Government will consider all quotes received by the closing date specified in this notice. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
