The procurement is for software including maintenance and support, valued under $250,000 and being sourced directly from AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) located in Washington, DC. The software is unique in its ability to provide long-range forecasts for National Park Service Bridge Needs and Regional Bridge Priority Lists, and conforms to regulatory SNBI requirements, making it the only commercially available software meeting these specific bridge management needs.
The justification is made under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with the rationale that this software is the sole source reasonably available. The procurement includes renewal licenses, Asset Inspection Anywhere, and service units. All responsible sources have 15 days from the posted date to submit a quotation, which will be considered by the agency. The point of contact for this procurement is Angel Williams, Business Operations Manager at AASHTO, who can be reached at 202-624-5808 or awilliams@aashto.org.
