About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Geodetic Survey (NGS), operating under the Acquisition & Grants Office Eastern Acquisition Division in Norfolk, intends to procure BAE Systems SOCET SET and SOCET GXP software licenses along with associated support and maintenance services on a sole source basis. NOAA is seeking these specialized photogrammetric mapping tools to support its coastal mapping and quality control operations, which require the unique capabilities of 3D visualization, real-time coastline assessment, aerotriangulation, and feature extraction functionality. The procurement is justified under FAR 6.103-1 based on BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc. being the sole manufacturer and distributor of these proprietary software licenses. The agency has determined that discontinuing use of these licenses would prevent NOAA from performing quality assurance on coastal mapping data and fulfilling obligations to contractors who depend on this processed data. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 2, 2026, with a response deadline of March 17, 2026.
No set-aside designation has been applied to this sole source procurement. BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., headquartered in San Diego, California, is the identified incumbent contractor and sole qualified source for this requirement. The contract is classified under NAICS code 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) and PSC category 7A21 (IT and Telecom - Business Application Software with Perpetual License Software). The pre-solicitation notice does not specify the award value or budget range for the software licenses, support, and maintenance renewal. This procurement represents a license renewal requirement rather than a new acquisition, indicating an ongoing operational need for NOAA's geospatial data processing and coastal mapping activities.
