About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification for a federal contract under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) intends to award a firm-fixed price contract to Trimble, Inc. to provide software updates for existing Trimble Business Center software and firmware/software updates for existing standalone Trimble land surveying hardware owned by the USFWS. Trimble is the sole source for these updates, as they are the only vendor that can provide updates for their proprietary Trimble brand equipment. The Contracting Officer has determined the pricing to be fair and reasonable based on previous similar contracts. The USFWS will make this purchase using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13. Any interested parties have 10 calendar days to provide evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government, after which the government will make a determination on whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
