About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source contract for specialized video editing equipment. The National Conservation Training Center intends to purchase Avid Media Composer Z8 Workstations from Avid Technology, Inc., specifically HP Z8 Fury G5 models configured with Avid-certified components. The procurement is valued at $27,191.00 for two workstations and will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13. The agency has determined that only Avid Technology can provide the required equipment, as they are the sole manufacturer of workstations certified to run Avid Media Composer software. This falls under NAICS code 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) with a size standard of $41.5 million in employees.
The primary objective is to replace outdated computer equipment while maintaining the capability to edit multiple streams of 4K resolution video using existing Avid software and hardware infrastructure. Interested parties have only three calendar days from the September 16, 2025 publication date (until September 19, 2025) to respond and demonstrate their capability to fulfill this requirement. Any response must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government, as this is currently structured as a sole source award. The workstations must include specific technical requirements including Intel W7-3565X processors, 128 GB RAM, Nvidia RTX 4000 Ada video cards, and comprehensive 3-3-3 warranties. The equipment will be delivered to the National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, and responses will only be considered for determining whether competitive procurement should be pursued instead of the planned sole source award.
