CheerpJ Licenses and Support for OIT

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Central Office is procuring CheerpJ Commercial Licenses and Support Services through the Office of Information Technology (OIT) to modernize legacy Java applications for browser-based execution without requiring local Java Runtime Environment installations. The contract seeks to implement CheerpJ technology to transition applications like the Integrated Transportation Information Management System (ITIMS) to run in modern browsers including Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, while integrating with Login.gov for secure authentication. Key requirements include unlimited multihosting with one application across two environments, elevated support response within 24 hours during business hours (09:00 to 17:00 Netherlands time), and 50 hours of annual support services. The solicitation operates under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) with a small business size standard of $47 million, and quotes must be submitted electronically to Jeffrey Pearson by 09:00 Eastern Time on July 22, 2025. The government intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order based on comprehensive company information, pricing details, and compliance documentation.

This opportunity is set aside 100% for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs), requiring offerors to complete and submit a signed Indian Economic Enterprise Representation Form demonstrating compliance with Buy Indian Act requirements. The contract structure includes a base year from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2026, with four additional one-year option periods extending through July 31, 2030, providing a potential five-year total performance period. Implementation involves assessment and planning phases, configuration and deployment of CheerpJ into the Department of the Interior's Azure cloud environment, and comprehensive testing and validation to ensure seamless browser-based Java application execution. The project aims to enhance security, scalability, and user experience by leveraging WebAssembly and HTML5 technologies as a drop-in replacement for local Java Virtual Machines. Performance will occur within the Department of the Interior's IT infrastructure, focusing on enterprise portal integration and cloud-based deployment to support the agency's digital modernization objectives.
