This is a Small Business Coordination Record documenting a federal procurement for software subscription licenses. The requirement is for ten user licenses of the Augury Silver Software Tool subscription, a commercial, firm-fixed-price acquisition valued at $225,101.00. The II Marine Information Group (II MIG) requires this proprietary software to conduct mission-critical cyber defense and threat intelligence operations. The software provides comprehensive situational awareness by integrating massive-scale network data for forensic analysis, comprised device identification, and real-time threat tracking—capabilities that are exclusive to Argonne Ridge Group and cannot be replicated by alternative commercial solutions.

The procurement is classified under Product Service Code 7A21 (IT and Telecom - Business Application Software) and NAICS code 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), with a size standard of 34,000,000. Performance is scheduled for fiscal years 2026 through 2027. The requirement is being set aside as Other Than Full and Open Competition with a determination that only one source can meet the Government's essential needs. Market research confirmed that alternative software solutions are insufficient for the Government's capabilities and would unacceptably delay threat response times. The Small Business Professional provided approval on April 7, 2026, with a notation that Procurement Center Representative signature was not required. This is a new requirement with no previous contract history.
