Description

Synopsis:� Notice of Intent to Award a Sole-Source Contract Announcement Number: 1305M2-21-Q-00601 Project Title: Hypack Software License Maintenance � The US Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Acquisition Division-Norfolk, VA office, Simplified Acquisition Branch intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the statutory authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), with PureHM US, Inc., for Hypack perpetual software licenses for the National Ocean Service (NOS) Office of Coast Survey (OCS) and the NOAA Hydrographic Survey Fleet. The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) for this acquisition is 511210, Software Publishers, with a business size standard of $41.5 million. Sole Source Justification NOAA�s Office of Coast Survey (OCS) manages the production of NOAA nautical charts and its nautical data collection and information programs. This integrated suite of programs in hydrography and cartography helps protect life and property, supports economic growth and development, and protects the environment, in addition to the overall mission of promoting safe navigation. Hypack software is used by Office of Coast Survey and all NOAA hydrographic survey ships for critical mission activities including, but not limited to, survey planning and acquisition of survey data (e.g., multibeam sonar bathymetry). OCS requires extended maintenance renewal for perpetual licenses of Hypack software products including Hysweep, Hypack Max, and Hypack Survey. The extended maintenance renewal provides critical software security patches, new software releases and updates, feature enhancements, and technical support.� The software is critical in NOAA�s mission to accurately collect single beam and multibeam sonar bathymetric datasets and allows hydrographers to precisely navigate survey lines to safely collect navigationally significant data. NOAA�s hydrographic fleet currently has 44 licenses of Hypack software in use, and has a continued requirement to access technical support and program updates for this mission-essential software. Without the purchase of the annual support, NOAA users would not have access to necessary updates and support for continued quality data acquisition. PureHM US, Inc. is the sole developer of HYPACK hydrographic surveying software and they do not authorize distributors or resellers of their proprietary software. Special Notice This special notice is not a solicitation for competitive quotes, nor will one be posted on Contract Opportunities.� However, if an interested party believes that it is capable of meeting the requirements and be in compliance with the above justification, they may submit substantiating documentation in writing within the open period of this notice.� Responses can be sent via e-mail to natasha.thieman@noaa.gov.� Documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon response to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit a Capability Statement in accordance with the solicitation, which shall be considered by the agency if received on or before 11:00 AM EDT on June 4, 2021.� The Capability Statement must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NOAA to determine if the party can meet all of the requirements.� All electronic correspondence shall have the subject line read:� Announcement Number: 1305M2-21-Q-00601 Project Title: Hypack Software License Maintenance DOC/NOAA Eastern Acquisition Division requires that all contractors doing business with this office be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM).
