NCS Licenses/Maintenance

The United States Department of Transportation's (USDOT) Pipeline & Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to award a sole source Purchase Order to Mistras Group, Inc. for the procurement of New Century Software (NCS) licenses and maintenance. NCS, a subsidiary of Mistras Group, Inc., is the only U.S.-based provider of the Facility Manager and Spatial Synchronizer software products owned by PHMSA, which are required to support the National Pipeline Management System (NPMS) data processing system.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the public that PHMSA plans to award a sole source Purchase Order to Mistras Group, Inc. for the required NCS software licenses and maintenance. The proposed base year cost is $18,092, with 3% annual increases for option years 1-4, for a total of $96,054 over the 5-year period. PHMSA has determined that Mistras Group, Inc., through its NCS division, is the only responsible source that can satisfy the agency's requirements. This Special Notice is not a request for proposals or quotes, and there are no eligibility criteria or application instructions for contractors, as this is a sole source procurement.
