This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source procurement by the US Coast Guard. The document seeks to acquire annual software maintenance and support for the CaPS software used on the C-27J Cargo palletized sensor system and maritime patrol aircraft from CarteNav. The specific procurement includes software maintenance and support for three aircraft licenses and one test station license, to be extended for three years as the USCG C-27 Aircraft approaches end of life. The purchase request number is 5093-FH50, with a project/task number of MRS/CaPS2.0. The government asserts that CarteNav is the only source capable of providing the required extended software support and patches, and will continue to conduct market research for potential alternative sources. The procurement is anticipated to be awarded as a sole source purchase order, pending fund availability, with an intent to award notice closing on April 17, 2025.
