Emergency reporting software sole source notice

The U.S. Coast Guard, under the Department of Homeland Security, has issued a sole source notice for emergency reporting software to support the USCG Base Kodiak Fire Department in Alaska. This is not a request for competitive quotes but rather a notice of intent to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to E-9 Corporation, which is identified as the only authorized provider for this specific software. The procurement involves emergency reporting software subscription services with performance located at Kodiak, Alaska. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541519 with a size standard of $34 million. The contract will be awarded under FAR 6.302-1, which allows sole source awards when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements.

The primary purpose of this notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's intent to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for other organizations to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested parties must submit their qualifications and capabilities in writing by September 20, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Alaska time, with oral communications explicitly not accepted. The government will evaluate these submissions solely to determine whether the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis instead of sole source. However, the decision to maintain the sole source approach remains at the government's discretion. The procurement will utilize commercial item provisions under FAR Parts 12 and 13, and any organization believing they can provide the required emergency reporting software may respond to challenge the sole source justification.
