The notice, posted on April 10, 2025, outlines the government's plan to directly award a contract to Lynx Software Technologies for software license renewal, maintenance, and security patch support.

While the notice is not a competitive solicitation, interested contractors may submit a capability statement within three calendar days of publication for potential government consideration. Eligibility is open to all responsible sources, though the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The support package includes new license files, software releases, revisions, patches, and technical support via telephone and email during standard business hours (09:30 to 17:00 PST, Monday through Friday). The contract will cover software configuration issues, bug fixes, and licensing problems, with payment processed through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF).
