Description
GENERAL This notice is issued in accordance with Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 12.201-1(c)(2), advertising the Government's intent to issue an award on a sole source basis under the authority established in RFO 12.102(a).

Many NICHD scientists in the intramural NICHD community routinely transfer data to and from Helix/Biowulf and other major computational centers on campus, and it is vital for them to have appropriate, secure, and user-friendly tools such as Globus. Globus at the University of Chicago is proprietary software and the only commercially available product that can properly maintain all the essential functionalities required in support of the intramural scientists need to transfer data to and from Helix/Biowulf. Globus utilizes a secure endoint to endpoint transfer system specifically developed for transferring high-performance research data - allowing the NICHD to transfer data exceeding several terabytes in size. Globus maintains transfer status in the event of network outages, minimizing negative impacts to transfer operations and research timelines. There is no other compatible software that can properly and adequately support the Government with this need. Market research indicates that Globus is the proprietary vendor and therefore, is a sole source.
