About this opportunity
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued a Limited Sources Justification to award a sole-source Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA 9531BM25A0015) to General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. (GDIT) for Vehicle Recorder Division Laboratory Software Maintenance and Enhancements. The contract covers maintenance and development of two critical software tools, CIDER (Crash Investigation Data Extraction and Readout) and Reveal, which are used for recovering and analyzing data from flight data recorders, electronic devices, and other transportation-related recording systems. The NTSB justified the sole-source award based on GDIT's unique qualifications, including 20 years of experience developing these specialized software applications, extensive knowledge of the required programming languages and systems, and deep understanding of NTSB's data recovery processes. The contract runs from August 25, 2025, through August 24, 2030, consisting of one 12-month base year and four 12-month option years, encompassing approximately 96,000 hours of software development work across four primary task areas: system maintenance, new features and functionality, system enhancements, and software quality assurance. The NTSB conducted market research and issued a Sources Sought Notice but received no alternative proposals, further supporting the sole-source determination, though the specific award amount was not disclosed in the notice.
