The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) intends to award a sole source modification to contract N00039-14-C-0101 to Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052. The current contract includes Microsoft Enterprise Custom Support Services, Microsoft Premier Support Services, and Software end of Maintenance (EOM) Enterprise Architecture Roadmap Services and expires 08 June 2015. The contract provided coverage for one year of these services. The proposed modification will provide coverage for up to an additional two years of support. These services will maintain the enterprise-wide Microsoft capabilities to ensure Department of Navy (DON) Warfighters have connectivity to their respective networks and data necessary to support and accomplish their mission. On 08 April 2014, Microsoft discontinued ongoing support for Microsoft XP, Microsoft Office 2003, and Microsoft Exchange 2003. Across the United States Navy, approximately 100,000 workstations currently use these applications. Support for this software can no longer be obtained under existing agreements with Microsoft because the software has reached the end of maintenance period. The proposed additional effort will allow the USN time to migrate from its existing reliance on the expiring product versions to newer product versions approved for use in Ashore and Afloat networks, and will provide hotfixes to minimize risks while ensuring support and sustainability of deployed capabilities. Given the above information, the contract modification will be awarded pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), only one or a limited number of responsible sources and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
