Notice of Intent - Sole Source

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for Bibliovation license maintenance. The NAICS code is 511210 and the Product/Service Code is 7030.

The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to Progressive Technology Federal Systems.  The proposed action is for Bibliovation license maintenance and support for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii).  The basis for restricting competition is for the following reason: the Bibliovation license maintenance and support is only available from PTFS.  The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to PTFS using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.       

Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than August 19, 2020.  This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals.  However, all responses received by August 19, 2020 at 2:00 PM EST will be considered by the Government.  Any questions must be received via e-mail by August 14, 2020 at 2:00 PM EST.  A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.  Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
