Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source- EndoPrp Software Maint/Upgrade

The Department of the Army Medical Command has issued a Special Notice announcing their intent to award a sole source contract for EndoPrp software maintenance and upgrade services. This procurement is specifically for ThunderCat Technology LLC to provide gastrointestinal endoscopy software upgrade and maintenance services for government-owned equipment at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood. The contract will be structured as a fixed-price purchase order funded through the Defense Health Program for fiscal year 2025. The notice was posted on August 7, 2025, with responses due by August 11, 2025. The procurement falls under the NAICS code 541519 for Other Computer Related Services and is classified as IT and telecommunications business application software as a service.

The purpose of this sole source award is to maintain and upgrade specialized endoscopy software that supports the entire clinical workflow, including patient scheduling, procedure archiving, report generation, and image capture at the medical facility. Market research conducted by the government confirmed that while multiple endoscopy software suppliers exist in the marketplace, only ThunderCat Technology can provide the original equipment manufacturer software that is compatible with the existing government-owned endoscopy equipment. The contractor must have a current approved authority to operate for the software upgrade and maintenance services. This procurement is justified under simplified acquisition threshold procedures due to the unique nature of the proprietary software and the government's specific technology requirements that differ from commercial marketplace solutions. The software is critical for streamlining patient care and operational performance across various stages of the endoscopy process at the Army medical center.
