About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to negotiate a sole source contract with Intelex Technologies ULC of Ontario, Canada for annual renewal of Intelex software licenses and support. NOAA's Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) requires continued support for their Intelex software system, which has been in use since fiscal year 2006 for safety and environmental management operations. The agency has determined that Intelex Technologies ULC is the sole provider of these software licenses and support services, with no authorized partners or resellers capable of providing the annual renewal services. The procurement falls under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) authority and is valued as a renewal of licenses previously purchased from FY2006 through FY2023. NOAA conducted market research and determined no other vendor or product meets their evolved requirements.
The Special Notice serves as notification that NOAA intends to proceed with sole source negotiations rather than competitive bidding, though it provides an opportunity for other firms to demonstrate their capabilities. The Intelex software provides critical database tools for management decisions, real-time dashboards, and customizable reports for tracking accidents, incidents, casualties, and internal inspection deficiencies across OMAO's fleet operations. Contractors who believe they can fully meet the government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation within 15 days of the notice publication date of June 18, 2025, making the response deadline July 3, 2025. Such documentation will be evaluated solely to determine whether the procurement should be conducted competitively, though the final determination remains at the government's discretion. The notice explicitly states that oral communications are not acceptable, and no solicitation package is available since this is not a request for competitive proposals.
Notice text
***NOAA'S ACQUISITION & GRANTS OFFICE, EASTERN ACQUISITION DIVISION-NORFOLK, OFFICE OF MARINE AND AVIATION OPERATIONS (OMAO) MISSION SUPPORT DIVISION INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), WITH INTELEX TECHNOLOGIES ULC, OUT OF ONTARIO, CANADA FOR INTELEX LICENSES AND SUPPORT ANNUAL RENEWAL.
***THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION'S (NOAA) REQUIREMENT THAT INTELEX TECHNOLOGIES ULC IS THE SOLE PROVIDER OF INTELEX SOFTWARE LICENSES AND SUPPORT AND THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORIZED PARTNERS/RESELLERS WHO CAN PROVIDE ANNUAL LICENSE AND SUPPORT RENEWAL.
OFFICE OF MARINE AND AVIATION OPERATIONS HAS A REQUIREMENT FOR SUPPORT SPECIFIC FOR MIGRATION OF DATABASE TO NEW SERVER AND UPGRADING VERSION OF SOFTWARE FOR INTELEX. ANNUAL MAINTENANCE RENEWALS ON INTELEX APPLICATION LICENSES PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED IN FY2006 THROUGH FY2023 FOR THE VENDOR TO PROVIDE CONTINUED SUPPORT AND PROVIDED CRITICAL SECURITY UPDATES AND APPLICATION UPGRADES OF THE LICENSED PRODUCTS. APPLICATION PROVIDES DATABASE TOOLS FOR KEY MANAGEMENT DECISIONS. INTELEX SOFTWARE PROVIDES DASHBOARD REAL-TIME STATUS AND CUSTOMIZABLE REPORTS TO SUPERVISORS AND UPPER MANAGEMENT ON ACCIDENTS, INCIDENTS, CASUALTIES, AND PROVIDES TRACKING OF INTERNAL INSPECTION DEFICIENCIES. THIS COST WOULD BE MUCH HIGHER THAN THE ESTIMATED COST OF THIS LICENSE MAINTENANCE RENEWAL. INTELEX SOFTWARE PROVIDES MODULES FOR SAFETY MANAGEMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS. IN ADDITION TO ACCIDENT AND CASUALTY DATA, OMAO FLEET INSPECTION PROCESS CURRENTLY RELIES ON THE DATABASE SYSTEM TO TRACK OPEN INSPECTION UNTIL CLOSURE IS REPORTED. LICENSES ARE ACTIVELY DEPLOYED WITHIN OMAO OF THIS APPLICATION AND WOULD REQUIRE FULL APPLICATION LICENSING REPLACEMENT IF MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT COULD NOT BE MAINTAINED.
MARKET RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED AND NO OTHER VENDOR OR PRODUCT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS THAT HAVE EVOLVED THROUGH THE USE OF THE INTELEX APPLICATION SINCE FY2006. THIS INCLUDES DATABASE TOOLS FOR KEY MANAGEMENT DECISIONS. INTELEX SOFTWARE PROVIDES DASHBOARD REAL-TIME STATUS AND CUSTOMIZABLE REPORTS TO SUPERVISORS AND UPPER MANAGEMENT ON ACCIDENTS, INCIDENTS, CASUALTIES, AND PROVIDES TRACKING OF INTERNAL INSPECTION DEFICIENCIES. PRIOR NOAA CONTRACT WAS AWARDED IN 2021 TO INTELEX TECHNOLOGIES ULC,133MK21PNMAN0103, FOR ANNUAL LICENSE AND SUPPORT RENEWAL.
***THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS AND NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE IS AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, FIRMS THAT BELIEVE THEY CAN FULLY MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS MAY SUBMIT SUBSTANTIATING DOCUMENTATION IN WRITING TO THE IDENTIFIED POINT OF CONTACT WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF THIS SYNOPSIS. SUCH DOCUMENTATION WILL BE EVALUATED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO CONDUCT THIS PROCUREMENT ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS. A DETERMINATION BY THE GOVERNMENT NOT TO CONDUCT A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT, BASED UPON RESPONSES TO THIS NOTICE, IS SOLELY WITHIN THE DISCRETION OF THE GOVERNMENT. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE.
