(BMC). A sole source Justification & Approval document is being coordinated and, upon approval, a copy of it will be posted here on beta.SAM.gov to comply with the public display requirements of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.305. The proposed contract action is for BMC’s Compuware and Innovation Data Processing annual software maintenance. This requirement will provide software support for the perpetual licenses currently owed by DISA. The software support provides DISA the ability to download latest versions and technical support of any software related issues to prevent any security violation. This software will provide DISA with the capabilities to increase DISA data center efficiency by providing a mainframe application resolution process to help speed the discovery of failover solutions, thereby reducing critical application downtime. In addition, the software improves performance of mission critical applications by reducing Central Processing Unit consumption, batch runtimes, and online transaction response times. Other software functionality includes providing a comprehensive set of developer productivity tools that reduces the time needed to get programs implemented or returned to production by automating the analysis, testing and debugging processes. One of the products, Xpediter, also assists by helping the next generation of mainframe programmers understand existing mainframe applications, examine the code both statically and in execution, and validate their testing efficiency. All of these Compuware products assist DISA with time management, cost control and risk avoidance with the mainframe platforms at mainframe processing data centers. The Compuware products all work together to improve data center productivity. System Administrators at Defense Enterprise Computing Centers Mechanicsburg and Ogden use this suite of products in everyday systems operation to provide data storage management; backup and recovery of Z Series Operating System data, volume and data set backup, volume reorganization and space release, managed volume incremental backup, and batch drive storage reporting. 3 Enclosures Sole Source Notice of Intent Sources Sought Addendum 1 Compuware Technical Standards Addendum 2 Software Product List
