The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) requires brand-name annual software maintenance and technical support for its eProductivity Software (ePS) Market Direct StoreFront (MDSF) and Print FF applications. These applications are critical for DLA Document Services, which acts as the sole print broker for the Armed Forces and federal agencies. The DLA's Document Services Online (DSO) application, built on MDSF and Print FF, supports web-to-print services, order fulfillment, and billing. The DLA is also procuring technical services for two projects: ICAM (Identity, Credential, and Access Management) and AOE (Automated Order Entry), which require modifications to the existing ePS software. This acquisition is justified as a sole-source procurement under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to ePS holding proprietary rights to the software, the unique scale and complexity of DLA's deployment, and the unacceptable cost and delay of switching to an alternative. Market research confirmed ePS as the only provider capable of meeting DLA's specific requirements, especially given the extensive customization and integration of the software within DLA's infrastructure.
This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the need for Enterprise Version 14.2 or higher of eProductivity Software (ePS) Market Direct StoreFront (MDSF) COTS product, including the Fulfillment Module (Print FF), and associated Technical Services for DLA Document Services. The purpose is to support specific projects, upgrade, and maintain MDSF at the required scale and security posture. The contract is for a 12-month base period with four 12-month option periods, from December 2025 to December 2030, and will be a Firm Fixed Price contract.

Additionally, the SOW details two significant technical projects: implementing Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) for enhanced security and developing an Automated Order Entry (AOE) system using APIs to streamline print order processing. Both projects include detailed plans for initiation, requirements analysis, planning, design, development, quality assurance, release preparation, deployment, and post-implementation support, with their initial implementation in the base year and continued maintenance in option years.
