Echoview Software Licenses

The U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants is procuring digital sonar system software licenses through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Echoview Software Licenses. The agency seeks to renew two existing Echoview software licenses (EV0181 and EV0478) for a one-year period, with required modules including Essentials, Survey Suite, Habitat Classification, Automation, Advanced Operators, and Multibeam Fish Tracking. The licenses must be operational by July 1, 2025, or within 30 days of contract award, with delivery specified as FOB Destination on a multiple delivery schedule. The solicitation was issued on July 10, 2025, with quotations due by July 18, 2025, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. While the document indicates this is structured as both a formal RFQ and a sources sought market survey, vendors must submit quotations along with company information, SAM UEI numbers, capability statements, and size status certifications.

This procurement operates under NAICS Code 513210 (Software Publishers) with a $47 million size standard and is not designated as a small business set-aside, though the sources sought notice indicates priority consideration for various small business categories including Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise, HubZone firms, 8(a) program participants, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned small businesses, and general small businesses. The current licenses being renewed are identified as EV0181 and EV0478, suggesting an existing relationship with Echoview software, though no specific incumbent contractor is named in the documentation. No award values or budget ranges are specified in the available documents, and specific quantities are not populated in the RFQ form. The issuing office is located at the Denver Federal Center in Denver, Colorado, with Travis Herberholz serving as the point of contact. The procurement emphasizes that quotations are not considered binding offers and the government is not committed to paying preparation costs for vendor responses.
