The University awarded a contract for Software Maintenance for CA Single Sign-On License to CA, Inc., San Jose, CA, for an estimated $185,545.
The University of Illinois System has a need for maintenance and support of the software product CA Single Sign-On (SSO). The maintenance and support is needed to provide secure authentication and access management for web applications administered by the University through Administrative Information Technology Services (AITS). The end result is that the web applications that utilize CA SSO authority support academic and administrative services that are critical to the operations of the University at all campus and University off-site locations.
The University, on information and belief, has concluded that only one vendor can meet its need or can meet the need economically. The Vendor is CA, Incorporated. The University of Illinois has provided detailed justification to support its conclusion as shown on the attached Sole Source Justification Form.
Although the university has presented this as a sole source procurement, we are seeking competitive information from firms with the capability of meeting the university's need (even if performed in a manner different from what has been presented) to contact us and provide sufficient information to show that the need can be met. If we receive that information, the Chief Procurement Officer will offer a public hearing to consider the matter. Hearing Information is described below.
The University has determined that this purchase is only economically available from this source because the procurement is software license, upgrade or maintenance. CA is the only party authorized to provide support and maintenance on CA products.
