Actian Software License Subscriptions - Pre-solicitation Notice

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), specifically through its Special Operation Forces Acquisition Technology and Logistics office and Technology Applications Program Office, is seeking to procure Actian Ingres and OpenROAD software license subscriptions along with related support services. This Firm Fixed Price contract will be awarded on a sole-source, non-competitive basis to LCN Services, LLC, which has been identified as the sole designer and developer capable of meeting the Government's requirements. The procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) and PSC category DA10 (IT and Telecom - Business Application/Application Development Software as a Service). A Sources Sought Notice was published on August 13, 2025, with a closing date of August 28, 2025, as mandated by DFARS regulations; however, no qualified responses were received by that deadline. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on April 24, 2026, with a deadline of May 9, 2026 for interested parties to submit comments or inquiries.

This procurement is not subject to any set-aside designation and represents a continuation or expansion of services from the incumbent contractor, LCN Services, LLC, located at 548 Market Street #2100, San Francisco, California 94104 (CAGE: 12X58). The contract structure consists of one base year with two option years of performance, providing the Government with flexibility in extending the engagement based on performance and organizational needs. While specific dollar values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the small business size standard for this NAICS category is established at $47,000,000.00. The Government's determination to proceed with sole-source negotiations under FAR 6.103-1(d) authority was based exclusively on the absence of qualified competitive responses to the earlier sources sought effort, making this award decision solely within the Government's discretion.
