7A--HPTC Construction Management Software Procurement Sole Source Justification

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center has awarded a sole-source contract under GSAR 538.7104-3(b) to procure construction management software for the Historic Preservation Training Center, with an award date of September 23, 2026.

The sole-source justification cites GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(1)(ii), determining that only one source is capable of providing the required products and services at the required quality level. Market research identified Procore for Government, available exclusively through authorized reseller EC America, Inc., as the sole FedRAMP Moderate Authorized, GSA Federal Supply Schedule-available platform meeting HPTC's mandatory requirements. The platform must deliver integrated construction management functionality including RFIs, submittals, punch lists, daily field reports, drawing management, change orders, and project financials; native iOS and Android mobile applications with full offline capability; unlimited user licensing for external prime contractors and subcontractors at no per-seat cost; and enterprise-scale program management with real-time cross-project analytics. No reseller-level competition exists since EC America, Inc. is the only GSA Schedule holder currently offering Procore for Government.

The period of performance runs from September 30, 2026 through September 29, 2031 (base year plus four one-year option periods) on a Firm-Fixed-Price, subscription-based order against GSA Federal Supply Schedule IT Category/Schedule 70. Place of performance is HPTC's Frederick, Maryland headquarters and four regionally distributed Traditional Trades HUB locations. Pricing is determined by Procore's published volume-based pricing model of 0.1–0.2 percent of annual construction volume, evaluated as fair and reasonable based on GSA-negotiated schedule rates.
