About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior US Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants has issued a Sole Source Justification Notice for a Rclone Business Support Package from Rclone Services Limited, targeting the National Geospatial Technical Operations Center's existing backup and disaster recovery solution. The justification is predicated on Rclone being the sole developer and maintainer of their software, with market research including a sources sought notice on www.sam.gov confirming no alternative vendors exist. Engineering an alternative solution would cost an estimated $85 million, making the direct purchase under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) economically prudent. The contract (140G0225P0032) was awarded on March 25, 2025, with the procurement falling under the Custom Computer Programming Services NAICS category. The justification emphasizes that future competition is constrained by the software's unique characteristics, and the Business Support Package will provide dedicated support for maintenance updates, bug fixes, and ongoing development.
