About this file
This document is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source issued by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) New Mexico State Office. BLM intends to award a firm-fixed price contract to IMPLAN Group LLC for a one-year renewal of a national package user license for IMPLAN economic modeling software, covering the period from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026. The contract is valued at $9,975.00 and will be awarded under FAR 6.302-1 for "Only One Responsible Source", as IMPLAN is a proprietary software exclusively developed and distributed by IMPLAN Group LLC.
The sole source justification is based on several key factors: IMPLAN is a proprietary software with unique datasets for economic impact analysis, all licensing and support are only available directly from the vendor, and BLM has consistently used this software for over 15 years to ensure methodological consistency across studies. The Notice emphasizes that this is not a competitive solicitation, and any potential responses must provide clear evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government.
