This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.1) document for a sole-source contract award to Compusult Limited for continued Operations and Sustainment (O&S) support of the International Geospatial Warehouse (IGW) system.

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) seeks to award a sole-source follow-on contract (IGW4) to Compusult Limited for continued O&S support of the IGW system under the Multinational Geospatial Coproduction (MGCP) Program. The contract period spans 53 months from July 1, 2026 through November 30, 2030, consisting of a five-month base year and four optional years. The estimated contract value and specific pricing information are redacted. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1(c)(2) as the statutory authority, emphasizing that only Compusult can satisfy requirements due to the system's specialized nature and proprietary rights. The IGW system, developed over nearly 20 years with input from 32 nations, incorporates highly customized software including Map Manager, IGW Manager, Web Enterprise Suite, and IGW Module components built on proprietary Web Enterprise Services (WES) source code that Compusult owns exclusively. NGA conducted market research from June 5 to July 2, 2025, evaluating 32 GIS software vendors and alternative solutions; however, no viable competitor could provide the specialized IGW capabilities without substantial duplication of costs and development delays. The justification asserts that awarding to any other source would result in significant cost increases, mission degradation, and operational disruption, as the current IGW3 contract expires June 30, 2026, and system continuity is critical to MGCP operations and international partner commitments.
