About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification for a Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract to i2 Group Inc. for the continuation of i2 Analyst's Notebook user annual subscription and support. The USFWS Intelligence Unit has a requirement for these proprietary i2 software licenses and related technical support, as the software is integral to their mission and compatible with their law enforcement counterparts. No other vendors or products were found to be viable alternatives. The contract will be awarded using Simplified Acquisition Procedures, not to exceed $250,000. Interested parties have 10 calendar days to respond to this notice with evidence that a competitive procurement would be advantageous to the government. The USFWS will make a determination on whether to compete the requirement based on any responses received.

Acquisitions Operations i2 Group Inc. is the only vendor capable of providing this service.
The i2 Analyst's Notebook licenses are proprietary i2 Group Inc., and we require continuation of these brand specific licenses, therefore market research for other vendors/products was not conducted. The i2 Analyst's Notebook licenses ensure that our products are compatible with those of our law enforcement counterparts with whom we often collaborate.
The WIU previously purchased 13 perpetual i2 Analyst's Notebook licenses from i2 Group Inc. via the contracting process. The IT/technical support for these licenses must be reinstated and maintained to ensure the proper function of the software, which is integral to the WIU mission.
i2 products are proprietary, brand name, and only available through exclusive licensing agreements. There were no viable alternatives to overcome these barriers.
