About this opportunity
The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has published a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source a contract for annual maintenance of the FSIS Label Submission and Approval System (LSAS) to Tungsten Automation Corporation DBA Atalasoft Inc. This notice indicates the agency's intention to award the contract on a non-competitive basis under FAR 12.101(a) provisions. The LSAS is a mission-critical, multi-user online system that manages label applications and maintains a searchable database for products and establishments under the control of the Labeling and Program Delivery Staff. The sole source justification is based on the system's exclusive reliance on Atalasoft's proprietary DotImage SDK and PDF Reader Add-On technology, which are integral to the application's architecture and functionality. The notice was posted on January 28, 2026, with a deadline of February 6, 2026.
The purpose of this contract is to secure authorized annual maintenance, security updates, and technical support for the proprietary Atalasoft DotImage components integrated within LSAS to ensure continued system operability. Interested parties may submit capability statements by the February 6, 2026 deadline to demonstrate their ability to provide identical services; these statements must be submitted via email as Microsoft Office Word, Excel, or Adobe PDF attachments. While this is not a competitive solicitation, the government will consider all capability statements received and retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the requirement. The contract will establish a 12-month base year with potential for additional option periods. Contractors must demonstrate technical capability to maintain the proprietary software components and provide the necessary support services required by FSIS.
