About this opportunity
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) through its Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO) has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for the renewal of annual software maintenance support services. The contract involves Infrastructure Relationship Management (IRM) Artificial Intelligence (IRMAI) software from Planet Associates, Inc., which serves as both the exclusive distributor and original equipment manufacturer of this specialized software. This notice pertains to the continuation of services under the current contract HC102821F0940, which is a Firm Fixed Price sole source acquisition that runs from September 25, 2021 to September 24, 2025. The procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers and PSC code 7A21 for IT and Telecom Business Application Software. DISA intends to negotiate directly with Planet Associates for this renewal due to their exclusive position as the software provider.
The primary objective of this notice is to inform the contracting community of DISA's intent to proceed with a sole source procurement while providing an opportunity for other potential contractors to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested parties who believe they can provide similar services must submit a detailed capability statement via email to the designated contracting officers, Jena Badgett and Alison Harder, within five days of the notice publication. The submission deadline is no later than 10:00 AM Central Time on August 17, 2025. Contractors must demonstrate their ability to provide equivalent Infrastructure Relationship Management Artificial Intelligence software support services to be considered for potential competition. The government retains complete discretion to evaluate any responses and determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement, though the current intent remains to continue with Planet Associates as the sole source provider. This process ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while acknowledging the specialized nature of the required software maintenance services.
