The Department of Education is seeking to procure annual maintenance services for the GovSmart AWARE software, which is essential for the department's operational efficiency. The maintenance services must be purchased directly from Aware, as they do not utilize resellers, and while Aware holds a GSA Advantage schedule, the specific annual maintenance services are not listed there. This procurement is critical for ensuring the continuity of software support and disaster recovery capabilities, as outlined in the associated documentation detailing maintenance renewal products for related systems. Interested parties can contact Yadezi Lamancusa at YADEZI.LAMANCUSA@ED.GOV for further information regarding this opportunity.
