Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Renewal of Agware License and Support

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency is seeking to renew its AgWare software license for agricultural and housing appraisal reporting software that meets industry standards and is USPAP compliant. The software must incorporate generally accepted appraisal techniques, integrate with FSA forms, and allow data export to Excel, PDF, and other formats. The agency requires a comprehensive appraisal software package capable of producing detailed reports for agricultural real estate, including assessments of residences, barns, outbuildings, agricultural acreage, and associated rights such as livestock, mineral, timber, and water rights. Interested vendors must submit capability statements by March 11, 2025, at 5 pm MST to demonstrate their product's equivalency to the current solution. All respondents must be registered in SAM.GOV as Small Businesses and will be evaluated on their ability to provide a software solution that meets the agency's specific technical and functional requirements.

The procurement will be conducted as a Firm-Fixed Price Contract utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with a focus on Disadvantaged Small Business participation. The Notice of Intent indicates a preference for a commercially available off-the-shelf software package that can function in remote areas without network connectivity. The contract falls under NAICS code 513210 with a size standard of $41.5 million. While specific award value details are not explicitly stated, the procurement is structured as a license renewal with ongoing software maintenance and support. The software must include advanced features such as third-party mapping, sketching, deed plotting, scanning, image importing, and Arc GIS integration, indicating a comprehensive and technologically sophisticated solution that meets the complex needs of agricultural and real estate appraisal professionals within the USDA Farm Service Agency.
