Sole Source Justification
This acquisition is being conducted under FAR 8.405 6(a)(1)(i)(B) Only One Source is Capable.
The proposed contractor, Four Points Technology, LLC, has been identified as the only authorized Government reseller of Data Innovations products and services. Data Innovations is the sole manufacturer and developer of the Instrument Manager software and the only entity capable of writing, maintaining, and supporting its proprietary interface programs, rules engines, and VistA LIS connectivity components.
Because Data Innovations restricts Federal distribution and technical support to Four Points Technology, and because the requirement involves maintaining and upgrading an existing proprietary installation, competition is not feasible.

Data Innovations Instrument Manager software and licenses,
OEM-authorized upgrade to version 9.0,
OEM-certified professional services for migration, integration, rule-writing, autoverification, and VistA LIS interface support, and
Authorized OEM maintenance for the existing Instrument Manager installation.
The Government will not consider responses that do not demonstrate authorization from Data Innovations to provide OEM-supported work to Federal customers.

Interested parties shall submit an emailed capability statement no later than: 13:00
