About this opportunity

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Huntsville Engineering and Support Center (CEHNC), has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a contract to Bentley Systems, Inc. for an Enterprise Public Sector 365 subscription, training, and support services. This special notice was posted on March 3, 2026, with a closing date of March 18, 2026. The notice announces the government's intention to award a sole-source, firm-fixed priced contract based on Bentley Systems, Inc.'s position as the sole developer and provider of the required subscription licenses. The procurement is being published in accordance with the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul requirement to provide at least 15 days' notice prior to solicitation issuance for acquisitions exceeding $25,000. This notice of intent is not a request for quote and does not obligate the government to award a contract or restrict its ultimate acquisition approach.

The objective of this procurement is to secure Enterprise License Subscription (ELS) services for Bentley's Enterprise Public Sector 365 software to support Army-wide engineering, design, and GIS initiatives, with the contract period running from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027, including two optional one-year extensions. The requirement stems from the Army's need for CAD/BIM software that maintains compatibility with current systems, as Bentley has been the Army's provider since 2008 and offers proprietary systems with no inter-operability with competing manufacturers' products. The contract includes critical deliverables such as one Enterprise License Subscription unit and 100 on-site training days annually, with optional services including ELS Administrator support, liaison coordination, and software optimization consulting. Responses received by the closing date will be considered by the government, though the determination to compete the contract remains solely at the government's discretion. Only Bentley Systems, Inc. is eligible to respond to this sole-source procurement, as it is the sole developer of the required software.
