Description

1. Introduction The government has a reoccurring annual requirement for software license renewals, software product support renewals, and hardware product support renewals ("License and Support Renewals"). The proposed actions will continue to support the system as designed and fielded, by renewing the licenses and support for the Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products currently integrated into fielded weapon systems. 2. Disclaimers This is a Request for Information (RFI), as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.201(e). Any information submitted by respondents to this request is strictly voluntary. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Quotation (RFQ), or Invitation for Bid (IFB), and issuing it does not obligate or restrict the U.S. Government from issuing an RFP, RFQ, or IFB in the future. The U.S. Government does not intend to award a contract or order based on responses to this RFI. Non-participation does not preclude participation in any future RFP, RFQ, or IFB.

The responses may be forwarded to other Government entities in consideration for applicability to other programs. Any proprietary information submitted should be identified as such and will be properly protected from disclosure. All DoD contractor and FFRDC personnel reviewing RFI responses will have signed non-disclosure agreements and understand their responsibility for proper use and protection from unauthorized disclosure of proprietary information. The U.S. Government shall not be liable for damages related to proprietary information that is not properly identified. Proprietary information will be safeguarded in accordance with the applicable U.S. Government regulations. Respondents should be aware that the Government is under no obligation to provide feedback on RFI submissions. Issuance of this RFI does not obligate or restrict the U.S. Government to any future acquisition approach. 3.
