Inventory Locator Service (ILS) database software subscription renewal

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is seeking to procure a firm-fixed-price delivery order for Inventory Locator Service (ILS) database software subscription renewals to support four naval shipyards: Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY), Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PHNSY & IMF), Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNS), and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNSY & IMF). The requirement is limited to brand name commercial off-the-shelf ILS database software subscriptions and is only available as an open market purchase order through the original equipment manufacturer. According to the Class Justification and Approval document, this procurement is justified on the basis that only OEMs or their authorized resellers can provide the necessary software support, as the existing software is proprietary and deeply integrated into current mission partner infrastructure, with alternative products unable to seamlessly replace the current system without significant code rewrites and potential interoperability issues. The solicitation was posted on January 13, 2026, with proposals due by January 16, 2026. DISA notes that it will continue to research alternative solutions and remains open to competition if OEMs are willing to surrender their intellectual property rights or if the Government determines the previously acquired brand name products are no longer required.

This procurement includes no set-aside designation and represents a continuation requirement from the incumbent ILS provider, a large business. The contract calls for a quantity of four software subscriptions per year, with the period of performance running from the date of award through December 31, 2026, followed by four optional one-year renewal periods extending through 2030. The place of performance is identified as Scott Air Force Base (AFB), Illinois 62225. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documentation, the procurement structure indicates a multi-year obligation with defined annual quantities. This solicitation falls under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) and PSC code 7A21 (IT and Telecom - Business Application Software for Perpetual License Software).
