Notice of Intent to Sole Source – Dynamic Systems Inc.

This acquisition is for Oracle Hardware and Software maintenance and Support at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center (CC) DCRI. • Product Service Code: 6515 – Medical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies • NAICS Code: 339112 – Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing • Place of Performance: Bethesda, MD 20892 USA POTS: 26-003910 Description: This is a notice of intent, not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued and quotations will not be requested. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award a fixed price purchase order Dynamic Systems Inc, located at 880 N Park View Dr, El Segundo, CA 90245, on a firm fixed price sole source award basis to provide hardware and software maintenance to the National Institutes of Health. This requirement restricts consideration to a brand name product from one manufacturer. Oracle hardware and software are essential to the Government's requirements and market research indicates other companies' similar products, or products lacking the particular features, do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet the Clinical Centers (CC) needs. These systems are vital to the running of the hospital. Failure to purchase Oracle support services, will dramatically increase the time, effort and constraints on performance by eliminating what is able to use currently which will cause extensive performance degradation, service denials, and information losses. The procurement of the Oracle maintenance is essential to support the current environment. Sun Servers are proprietary to Oracle as is their operating system. It would cost the Clinical Center a considerable amount of time and funding to replace the current environment.
