Description

This is a notice of intent to award a single source order to Ansys government Initiatives, Inc (AGI) located at 220 Valley Creek Blvd. Exton, PA 19341. The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Acquisition and Grants Office, Satellite and Information Acquisition Division located at 1325 East-West Highway Silver Spring Metro Center Building 2 Silver Spring, MD 20910 has a requirement for annual software license upgrades and renewals of the Systems Tool Kit (STK) Software. This software allows the Search and Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking (SARSAT) program to generate optimized schedules based on ground station and satellite configurations, and is the software currently in use by the SARSAT program. This acquisition will be solicited from AGI�s General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract (Contract #: GS-35F-056DA). A small portion of open market items that aren�t available on AGI�s GSA MAS contract will be required. Procedures are being followed in accordance with FAR Section 8.402 paragraph (f). A single source determination is being prepared in accordance with FAR Subsection 13.106-1 paragraph (b). Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies are unique or highly specialized. A separate Limited Source Justification is being prepared for the GSA MAS portion of this requirement. This requirement will include a one-year base period with four (4) one-year option periods and the anticipated period of performance, including the base period and all option periods, is October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2028. The Government anticipates awarding a Firm Fixed Price contract. This notice is published for informational purposes only and is not a request for competitive quotations. However, any firm who has questions regarding the sole source nature of this requirement or believes they can meet this requirement may submit a response in writing. Responses must include a written narrative statement of capability, including detailed technical information demonstrating the company's ability to meet the above requirements. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Written responses must be received no later than 15 calendar days after publication of this synopsis to the person listed as the Government point of contact in this announcement. All questions must be submitted in writing to the attention of the Government Contract Specialist. If no responses are received, the Government will proceed with the single source negotiation. NOTHING HEREIN SHOULD BE MISCONSTRUED AS A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS, QUOTES OR BIDS. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENTATION IS AVAILABLE OR WILL BE ISSUED. The National Industry Classification Systems Code is 513210 - Software Publishers, and the size standard is $47,000,000. Please direct any questions regarding this notice to both Mrs. Cherron Bennett-Pettus, Contract Specialist at cherron.bennett-pettus@noaa.gov and to Mr. Darrin L. Holland, Contracting Officer at darrin.holland@noaa.gov
