Description

Auto-translated from Portuguese

Contracting a specialized company for the provision of renewal services for Subscriptions, Warranty, and Support of the Palo Alto Networks Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) solution, existing at HFA, including support services, 24x7 monitoring, and centralized platform management. It should be noted, for control purposes and adherence to the planning principle established by art. 18 of Law No. 14.133/2021, that the present demand has been materially planned and approved in the current Annual Procurement Plan (PCA). Originally, the need was substantiated and approved under DFD No. 18/2026. Considering that DFD 19/2026 has an object compatible with the object of DFD 18/2026, the 2 (two) DFDs were grouped in Contract No. 112408-95/2026. DFD 19/2025 led to the bidding process 60550.035438/2025-71, which used Contract No. 112408-95/2026, resulting in Electronic Bidding 95/2026. DFD 18/2025 led to another bidding process 60550.005634/2026-00; as Contract No. 112408-95/2026 had already been used in DFD 19/2025, it was necessary to create a new extemporaneous contract. However, due to the current system of the 'New Procurement Disclosure' (NDC) module of the Compras.gov.br system, the platform began to require a rigid correspondence (1-to-1 relationship) between the planning item and the external phase, irreversibly consuming the systemic record. Therefore, in order to guarantee budgetary execution and avoid the undersupply of this Health Organization, it was necessary to register this bidding directly in the NDC module as a 'New Contract' (Extra-PCA). It is emphasized, however, that this procedure is strictly operational/systemic, adopted exclusively to overcome the limitation of the federal platform, and does not materially constitute an absence of prior planning or a violation of art. 7 of Decree No. 10.947/2022.
