About this opportunity

The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to negotiate solely with TCG, Inc. for additional software development resources. The notice pertains to a project to re-engineer the USITC's Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) application, with TCG serving as the current software development firm for the agency. The negotiation will be conducted under the authority of 6.302-1, which allows for sole-source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. TCG has been selected due to its detailed knowledge of the agency's systems, processes, and staff, which is expected to improve the quality of the end product while saving time and resources. The expected period of performance is 18 months from the award date.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to modify the existing Task Order 34300022F0021 by adding eight additional software development resources to accelerate the HTS application re-engineering project from 24 to 12 months. The notice specifies that this is not a competitive solicitation and no broader solicitation will be available for this requirement. Contractors should note the seven-day window following the May 16, 2025 posting date during which the government will consider any submitted information. The modification will be executed through the CIO-SP3 contract vehicle, with TCG selected as the sole source due to their seven-year incumbent status. Interested parties may submit information to the Contracting Officer, Ian Quillman, at ian.quillman@usitc.gov, though telephonic inquiries are strongly discouraged. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete this action, with a full competitive procurement planned when TCG's current order expires on 09/28/2027.
