CDC- UNICOM Systems Inc- Software License Maintenance

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a division of the Department of Health and Human Services, issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole-Source Contract on January 7, 2026. The CDC intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract to UNICOM Systems, Inc. for commercial software license maintenance services. This Special Notice (Solicitation Number 75D301-26-Q-78782) represents the government's intention to procure continued software support through a sole-source procurement method. The contract will support critical CDC operations through the maintenance of proprietary software. This Notice of Intent allows interested parties an opportunity to submit competing capability statements before the final award decision is made.

The primary objective of this procurement is to secure continued access to the UNICOM Intelligence Suite software, which is essential for supporting the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) Integrated Data Collection System (PIDS). The contract will include updates, patches, security enhancements, and technical support services. Interested contractors must submit capability statements demonstrating their ability to meet the government's requirements by January 15, 2026, via email to Ashley Williams. The CDC is pursuing sole-source justification based on UNICOM Systems, Inc.'s exclusive ownership of the proprietary intellectual property underlying the software. The anticipated contract period consists of a base year with one option year, and the CDC will evaluate all received capability statements before proceeding with the award determination. Contractors are not subject to any specific small business set-aside requirements for this opportunity.
