About this opportunity
The United States Coast Guard's C5I Service Center has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a contract with Heuristic Management Systems Inc. (HMS Software) for support services related to Time Control Industrial (TCI) and Depot Management (DPOMS) systems. The procurement will be conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and is justified based on the proprietary nature of HMS Software's technology. The contract is specifically for remote support services to complete software enhancements, with the government determining that HMS Software is the only qualified vendor capable of providing the necessary support, upgrades, and maintenance. The sole source action is authorized under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b), which allows for procurement from a single responsible source when no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
Interested vendors may submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing to the Contract Specialist Brianna Riffle and Contracting Officer Mark Rushing by 10:00 AM ET on April 9, 2025. The proposed contract will be firm-fixed price with an anticipated award date of April 10, 2025, and a performance period extending through July 5, 2025. While the notice indicates no specific set-aside, all responsible sources are permitted to submit a bid, proposal, or quotation for consideration. The contract falls under NAICS Category 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and Product Service Code DA10 for IT and Telecom Business Application Software as a Service. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether the procurement will be competed on a full and open competition basis, based on the responses received to this notice. Oral communications will not be accepted, and all submissions must be made in writing with the Notice ID referenced in the subject line.
