About this opportunity
NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Eastern Acquisition Division-Norfolk, intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a sole-source basis to Purehm US Inc. for new Hypack software licenses and extended maintenance renewal and annual support for existing licenses, with a period of performance from September 30, 2026 through September 29, 2027.
The sole-source determination rests on NOAA's finding that Purehm US Inc. is the only source capable of providing the licenses and services at the required quality level; the technical services are highly specialized, and Purehm US Inc. maintains no authorized partners or resellers who can deliver these offerings. Hypack, Inc., a subsidiary of Purehm US Inc., is the sole owner and distributor of the Hypack hydrographic survey software packages, including Hysweep, Hypack Max, Hypack Survey, and Hypack Echo.
The one-year purchase order will include critical software security patches, new releases and updates, feature enhancements, and technical support. NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers) applies; the business size standard is $47.0 million. PSC 7A21 (IT and Telecom—Business Application Software, Perpetual License Software) governs.
This is not a competitive solicitation and no solicitation package is available. Firms believing they can fully meet the government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation or a request for additional information in writing to the point of contact within 15 days of this notice's publication. The government will evaluate such submissions solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis.
