About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center has awarded a sole-source delivery order to METGREEN SOLUTIONS INC for Dragon Professional Enterprise subscription and technical support services under NASA SEWP V, with a contract value of $126,500, on June 9, 2026.
The justification cites FAR 6.302-1(c), Brand Name authority, and Section 41 U.S.C. 4106(c)(2) for unique or highly specialized supplies. The VA determined that only Nuance Dragon Professional meets its operational requirements due to its 99% speech recognition accuracy, customizable commands, hands-free functionality, minimal user interface, and proprietary dictionary storage capabilities—features unavailable in competing alternatives including Microsoft Windows Speech Recognition, FreeSR, Tazti, Braina, Dolphin SuperNova, and JAWS. Market research conducted in March 2026 identified 139 authorized resellers on NASA SEWP V, including 10 verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, establishing reasonable competition among qualified resellers for this brand-specific requirement.
The contract structure consists of one 12-month base period with two 12-month option periods and three optional items for additional licenses in each period, with flexible monthly scaling and prorating capabilities across the contract term. The requirement establishes a single contract vehicle for all Nuance Dragon Professional subscriptions and technical support across the VA. Fair and reasonable pricing is ensured through comparison to previously determined NASA SEWP V GWAC prices and an independent government cost estimate. The contracting officer's certification serves as approval. METGREEN SOLUTIONS INC is located in Norfolk, Nebraska.
