Pre-Solicitation Notice for notice of intent to award a sole source contract. This is not a solicitation. The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source contract for three (3) months with a three (3) month option period to Wellspring Worldwide, Inc., 954 W Washington Blvd, Suite 750, Chicago, IL to obtain continued use of a cloud-based database containing all information on VA inventions and intellectual property and agreements for the VA Technology Transfer Program (TTP), Research and Development Office. This requirement is for continued use and access of the existing Wellspring Sophia Cloud-based, FedRAMP authorized Software as a Service (SaaS) solution. Wellspring Sophia for VA TTP is accessed and used by 127 VA Medical Centers across the United States for reporting invention disclosures and related activities. Tens of thousands of VA TTP records are contained in the database, with millions of individual datapoints. This requirement is an interim purchase order for the continuation of the Sophia KMS and is critical to the VA and the research office. Due to the fact that Wellspring developed, designed, and configured the Sophia cloud-based software as a service, (SaaS) for the VA and the technology transfer program (TTP) office, and is the incumbent Contractor for these services, Wellspring is the only vendor that can provide the services to meet this requirement. Since the intent is to procure this on a sole source basis, no solicitation will be posted to FedBizOps (FBO). The applicable NAICS code is 541512 with a $34 MIL size standard. The PSC is DH10. The authority for this action is FAR 6.302.1-1 Only One Responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Interested persons may contact the Contracting Officer via email at [email protected] regarding this procurement. The determination to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.
