CDC awarded contract no. 75D30121C12684 to Optimoz, Inc (“Optimoz”), 11300 Rockville Pike Ste 803, Rockville, MD 20852-3010 on September 9, 2021, in the amount of $843,533.06. This notices makes available a justification and approval for other than full and open competition (JOFOC) that applies to this contract. This contract was awarded under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The purpose of this contract is to procure information technology services from Optimoz for Optimoz to operate and maintain the system changes made to the immunization information system (IIS) for the U.S. Virgin Islands to enable connectivity to the Immunization Gateway and submission (external to the Immunization Gateway) of COVID-19 vaccine administration data to CDC. The scope of this contract also includes the enhancement of the U.S. Virgin Islands IIS to support reporting (external to the Immunization Gateway) routine vaccination data to CDC and automating the reporting (external to the Immunization Gateway) of COVID-19 vaccination data to CDC. Additionally, the scope of work involves enhancing the U.S. Virgin Islands IIS to connect to new Immunization Gateway functionality including, but not limited to, the multi-jurisdictional query function and data submission to CDC via the Immunization Gateway. Optimoz was determined to be the only responsible source because Optimoz currently provides operations and maintenance support to the U.S. Virgin Islands IIS. It would be disruptive and inefficient to have two IIS vendors or system integrators providing the same type of operations, maintenance and enhancement services to a single IIS. To use two vendors would cause a duplication of costs and would violate software development best practices. Therefore the software and system changes contemplated in this requirement can only be performed by the vendor currently providing operations and maintenance support to a particular IIS. The attached JOFOC is being made available within 14 days of the contract award in accordance with FAR 6.305(a) and will remain active for 30 days in accordance with FAR 6.305(d)(3).
