The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Legacy 3, intends to award a firm-fixed price, sole source contract to RIB SOFTWARE NORTH AMERICA INC.(RIB), 3655 North Point PKWY STE 140, Alpharetta, Georgia 30005-4118, SpecLink Software License Renewal. FWS intends to award this requirement as a sole source to RIB because SpeckLink is the specification writing software that Region 3 employees have been trained to use and have been using since at least the last 15 years. This region needs this software not only to develop new specifications but to also complete the specifications that are currently in development and to also read the prior specifications.

The USFWS Division of Facilities Management intends to continue to use SpecLink Software

License to assist Architects, Landscape

Architects and Engineers preparing, developing and writing construction specifications for construction projects for various buildings, roads and other facilities throughout Region 3.

This provides specifications for both design bid build construction projects and design build construction projects. FWS in Region 3 also requires AE to use the current SpecLink Software

License so their specifications can be transferred to USFWS Division of Facilities

Management for their permanent record when they are complete.

In essence, USFWS has spent a considerable amount of time training many engineering staff on how to use this SpecLink Software and to manage the database. Switching to another software would require retraining the engineering staff and delay obligating funding for this years construction projects. In addition, USFWS

Division of Facilities Management has many projects in their database that were written using this SpecLink Software License, so access to these projects would not be possible if they no longer have access to Speclink. Speclink provides a database to access their previous completed specifications. FWS Region 3, requires many of their AE to use Speclink so their specifications when complete are easily transfered to FWS. Therefore, there is no other simular products that can meet the requriement.

Other software writing packages exist but current specifications and specifications in development cannot be read or edited using another vendor

Past orders (i.e., 140F0320P0041) for SpecLink

Software License was not competed but also awarded to Building Systems Design (BSD) which has been rebranded as RIB North America.

BSD was the only source for order 140F0320P0041.

The NAICS code is 511210 Software Publishers.
