This is a sources sought notice with the intent to award a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1)(i) to HEAT Software, USA, Inc. for an upgrade to the current NTSB HEAT Helpdesk Software Suite.

Notice is provided as information to the marketplace, market research, and is an invitation for any other qualified companies to express their interest in and demonstrate their capability to provide the required work. The NTSB is an independent Federal agency charged by Congress with investigating civil aviation accidents in the United States and significant accidents in the other modes of transportation -- railroad, highway, marine and pipeline -- and issuing safety recommendations aimed at preventing future accidents. The NTSB has a requirement to purchase HEAT 2015 Service Desk Bundle; HEAT 4-day Training; and HEAT Professional Services. The newest version provides a more robust, scalable and configurable environment. The period of performance is from date of award through four months.

(6) HEAT Software, USA, Inc. authorized provider/reseller. These expressions of interest shall adhere to a three (3)-page submission limit plus web links and any specialized software descriptions. The statement of qualifications should include only information that clearly demonstrates the respondent's capabilities, expertise, and experience to provide the requirements described in this notice. General marketing material should not be included. The NTSB prefers that companies do not submit proprietary material. However, the Government recognizes that proprietary data may be a part of your submittal. If so, clearly mark such restricted or proprietary data and present it as an addendum to the non-restricted/non-proprietary information. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by NTSB. Parties must submit information no later than 2:00pm (Eastern Standard Time) on or before September 25, 2015.
