7A--IT TSC - data acquisitions systems

The Bureau of Reclamation Acquisition and Operation Branch in Denver, Colorado has issued a Special Notice regarding its intent to award a single source procurement for Data Acquisition Systems under NAICS code 541519. The agency plans to solicit and award a purchase order directly to DEWESoft for these systems. This notice is not a solicitation but rather a notification of the government's intention to proceed with a sole source award. The procurement falls under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), which allows for other than full and open competition when only one source can satisfy agency requirements. The Bureau of Reclamation believes that only one responsible source can provide this specific requirement.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the marketplace of the intended sole source award while providing an opportunity for other potential contractors to demonstrate their technical capabilities. Firms that believe they can meet the technical requirements must submit a technical capability statement along with their business profile to Rhonda Ligon at rligon@usbr.gov within five days of the notice publication date of August 13, 2025, making the deadline August 21, 2025. Any contractor with relevant technical expertise in data acquisition systems under the "Other Computer Related Services" category is eligible to respond. The agency emphasizes that any information received will be treated as market research for future similar requirements, and that quotations or proposals will not be accepted since this is not a request for proposal. This process allows the government to gather market intelligence while proceeding with their intended sole source procurement strategy.
