NOI - Aviation Market Intelligence

The Department of Commerce Office of the Secretary has published a Special Notice regarding a sole source procurement for Aviation Market Intelligence services. This notice is not a request for quotes but rather an announcement of the government's intent to award a contract directly to JETNET, located at 101 First St., 2nd Floor, Utica, New York 13501, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). The procurement is specifically for aviation market intelligence capabilities, and the government is proceeding with this single-source approach rather than conducting a competitive solicitation. The notice was posted on September 18, 2025, with the same date serving as the due date for any responses. The contracting action falls under the Department of Commerce's authority and represents a non-competitive procurement strategy.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the vendor community of the proposed sole source contract action while providing an opportunity for interested parties to identify their capabilities and interest in the requirement. While responses are due on September 18, 2025, the government has made clear that this is not a competitive solicitation and any determination to maintain the sole source approach remains within the Contracting Officer's discretion. Interested organizations may respond to demonstrate their qualifications, but they must ensure responses are complete and detailed enough for the government to assess their capabilities. The government has established several important conditions: no proprietary or sensitive information should be included in responses, the government reserves rights to use any non-proprietary information provided, and there is no obligation to acknowledge receipt of responses or provide feedback to respondents. Additionally, the government disclaims any obligation to award a contract or compensate respondents for information provided in their submissions.
