Notice of Intent to Sole Source/Microsoft Campus Agreement Desktop Bundle Licenses

The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) intends to issue a sole source contract under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1) and FAR 6.302-1 to Hewlett Packard (HP) in the estimated amount of $1.9 million over the period of one year under NAICS 511210 for an extension of its current Microsoft Campus Agreement Desktop Bundle Licenses. DoDEA's licenses expire on May 31, 2012. Under the terms of the current Microsoft Campus Agreement, HP is the only reseller through which DoDEA can get an extension of its current licenses in the required timeframe. Therefore, DoDEA intends to enter into a contract with HP for the shortest time allowed under a Microsoft Campus Agreement, which is one year. This is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties who feel that they possess the capabilities to satisfy this requirement shall submit a capability statement demonstrating their abilities to meet this requirement within the required timeframe. The information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. Please send your documentation to Nina Lin by email with the subject line "HE1254-12-R-0007 Microsoft Campus" to [email protected]. Documentation must be received by 10:00am EST on May 29, 2012, to be considered by DoDEA. A determination by the DoDEA not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within discretion of the Government.
