About this opportunity
The Department of State US Embassy Lima has awarded contract 19PE5026F0181 on a sole-source basis for DEA license subscriptions, with an estimated value of $99,995.99.
The justification cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), exclusive licensing agreements, and proprietary hardware-software integration as the basis for sole-source procurement. The DEA Lima Country Office requires immediate renewal of software licenses to restore a mission-critical operational capability suspended due to license expiration. The full operational requirement consists of two proprietary licenses and four standard licenses; this sole-source action is limited to the minimum capability needed to resume core operations—one proprietary license and one standard license. The DEA will simultaneously pursue full and open competition for the remaining four licenses.
The justification identifies five supporting factors: urgency and operational impact of the interrupted function; proprietary closed-architecture platform with existing Government-owned hardware that cannot be replaced without substantial cost and delay; exclusive licensing and the vendor being the only authorized source for required subscription renewals; protection of prior U.S. Government investments in existing hardware, software, and training; and preservation of bilateral law enforcement partnerships with Peruvian counterparts dependent on evidence continuity. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable based on market research and technical capability comparisons, and that the proposed price is necessary to avoid substantially greater costs and delays associated with platform replacement, estimated at $20,000 in hardware alone plus procurement delays of six to ten weeks.
Place of performance is Lima, Peru. NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers); PSC DA10 (IT and Telecom – Business Application/Application Development Software as a Service).
