About this opportunity
The Department of Energy has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a contract to C2 Company for annual licensing of BC Java libraries. This special notice, posted on January 13, 2026, represents a follow-on procurement to continue an existing three-year relationship with the incumbent contractor. The BC Java libraries provide exclusively licensed code source content essential for software development supporting the Office of Secure Transportation (OST) mission-critical systems and applications. The libraries have been vetted and approved through cybersecurity channels and are deeply embedded within existing OST infrastructure.

The contract is structured as a firm fixed-price award with an estimated five-year period of performance from February 27, 2026, through February 26, 2031, and includes Entry Tier support with one registered email address for library support, 24-hour response times, release notifications, FIPS support, and up to 20 annual support hours. The due date for any interested parties to submit comments regarding this sole source justification is January 27, 2026. Although this procurement is not utilizing a set-aside, the government has indicated it reserves the right to validate pricing through various methods to ensure cost reasonableness. The opportunity is classified under NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and PSC code 7H20 (IT and Telecom - Platform Products).
