About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is seeking to procure maintenance, support, and integration services for the Warehouse Inventory Management Procurement System (WIMPS), which utilizes Tecsys Elite Series software to manage warehouse assets, procurement functions, and inventory accountability across the agency. This requirement encompasses end-to-end warehouse management capabilities delivered through commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software solutions. The procurement will utilize simplified acquisition procedures under FAR 12.201-1, with an anticipated award date of February 1, 2026. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on December 30, 2025, with a due date of January 14, 2026 for interested parties to submit responses. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in this pre-solicitation notice, the procurement focuses on ensuring continued system functionality and compatibility with the government's existing infrastructure and workflows.
No small business set-aside or other socioeconomic set-aside has been designated for this procurement. Tecsys, Inc., located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, is identified as the intended sole source provider and current contractor, as the company holds exclusive intellectual property rights to the Elite Series software and possesses the only capability to ensure full compatibility with the government's customized system architecture and user-specific configurations developed under the previous contract (APHIS Contract AG-32KW-P-11-0215). The pre-solicitation notice does not specify a contract award value or budget range for this follow-on effort. Stephen Tees, located at 250 Marquette Avenue, Suite 410, Minneapolis, Minnesota, serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries regarding this procurement opportunity.

Description:
This requirement is for Warehouse Inventory Management Procurement System (WIMPS) services to support the end-to-end process of managing warehouse assets, procurement functions, and inventory accountability across the agency. The services include maintenance, support, and integration of the existing proprietary Elite Series software acquired and implemented as Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software under APHIS Contract AG-32KW-P-11-0215. The trade name of Elite Series software is the copyrighted proprietary intellectual property of Tecsys, Inc.
RFO FAR 12.201-1 Simplified procedures will be used for awarding the contract. The anticipated award date is February 1st, 2026.
The intended source for this acquisition is Tecsys, Inc., 1 Place Alexis Nihon, Suite 800, Montreal, QC, H3Z 3B8, Canada.
The proposed contractor, Tecsys, Inc., is the sole provider of the proprietary software solution required to fulfill the Government's needs. This software is copyrighted and constitutes the intellectual property of Tecsys, Inc., and therefore cannot be replicated, resold, or modified by third-party vendors without violating intellectual property rights. Furthermore, the requirement at hand is a follow-on effort to an existing contract, making Tecsys, Inc. the only source capable of ensuring full compatibility with the Government’s current system architecture, databases, and workflows. The technical solution provided by Tecsys, Inc. is uniquely integrated with the existing platform infrastructure, which includes customized modules, system interfaces, and user-specific configurations developed under previous phases of the contract. Awarding to a different vendor would not only risk loss of continuity and data integrity but could also require substantial additional investment in reconfiguration, revalidation, and user retraining, resulting in unnecessary duplication of cost and unacceptable delays to mission-critical operations.
All responsible sources may submit a response which will be considered by the agency. Please email responses to Stephen Tees at Stephen.Tees@usda.gov no later than the response date of this notice. Telephonic inquiries will not be honored.
