Axiell Mimsy Migration

The United States Marine Corps has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for an Axiell Mimsy Migration project through the USMC Regional Contracting Office at Marine Corps Base Quantico. This special notice announces the Marine Corps' intent to award a sole source contract to Axiell AML Canada, Inc. for computer systems design services to migrate the Marine Corps Band's legacy Axiell Mimsy XG database system to the new Axiell Collections web-based platform. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and PSC code DA01 for IT and telecom business application development support services. The contract will be awarded using FAR Part 13 non-competitive procedures due to the proprietary nature of the migration requirements. The Marine Corps Band requires this migration to maintain their mission-critical sheet music catalog records and ensure continued operational capability.

The primary objective of this sole source procurement is to migrate the Marine Corps Band's database system to maintain operational continuity, cybersecurity compliance, and preserve the system's Authority to Operate (ATO) status. The anticipated contract structure includes a single Firm Fixed Price order covering a 12-month base period from September 24, 2025, to September 23, 2026, funded through FY25 Marine Corps Operations and Maintenance appropriations. While this is not a competitive solicitation, responsible sources may submit capability statements to kevin.guertin@usmc.mil by September 16, 2025, at 8:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time. The sole source justification is based on Axiell ALM's exclusive proprietary rights and specialized technical expertise required for the migration, as no alternative vendors can perform this specific database migration due to proprietary database structures and migration tools. The government retains complete discretion over whether to make this requirement competitive despite any capability statements received.
