About this opportunity
This Special Notice from the Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory announces their intent to sole source a contract to FEI Houston Company. The contract is for maintenance renewal of FEI PerGeos 1.0 software and two additional floating licenses. The software is used for SEM and CT imaging as well as 2D and 3D visualizations.
The Special Notice aims to justify awarding a sole source contract to FEI Houston Company due to their proprietary ownership of the FEI PerGeos 1.0 software. Changing to an alternate product would jeopardize existing data and disrupt consistent workflows. Interested parties have until February 5, 2024 to provide evidence of their capability to fulfill the requirement, though a sole source award to FEI Houston Company remains the Government's preferred option. The period of performance is February 29, 2024 through February 28, 2025 with an estimated total cost of $21,712. No competitive bidding process will occur unless the Government determines responses warrant doing so.
