The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Eustis (MICC-West Point) issued a Special Notice on March 24, 2026, announcing its intent to sole source a software subscription contract. The Government intends to negotiate exclusively with Dassault Systems Americas Corp., located in Waltham, Massachusetts, based on the company's status as the sole provider capable of satisfying the stated requirements. The contracting action falls under NAICS Code 513210 (Software Publishers) with a size standard of $47.0 million dollars. This notice is not a competitive solicitation but rather a formal notification of the Government's intent to negotiate with a single source under the authority of FAR 12.102(a). The specific requirement involves a subscription for Cabell's Scholarly Analytics database of online journals for the United States Military Academy Library.

While this is a sole source procurement, any responsible source that believes it can meet the requirement may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for the Government's consideration. All responses must be received by March 27, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time via email to Leslie Duron at leslie.a.duron.civ@army.mil. There are no specific eligibility criteria or set-asides associated with this opportunity, and interested parties should note that the Government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the requirement based on submitted responses. The procurement concerns a new requirement for academic database services to support the library operations at the United States Military Academy. This notice provides a three-day window for potential competitors to demonstrate their capability to supply the scholarly analytics database services.
