About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps' Field Contracting System at Marine Corps Installation East (MCIEAST) has issued a Notice of Sole Source intent to award a contract to Soaring Software Solutions, Inc. for TCMax software licenses, training, and support services. The Marine Corps Contracting Office at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina published this special notice on August 22, 2025, indicating their intention to proceed with a non-competitive procurement under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). The justification is based on Soaring Software Solutions being the only source reasonably available due to restrictive rights and exclusive licensing agreements. The notice explicitly states that this is not a request for competitive quotes, and any determination by the government not to compete this contract based on responses remains solely within their discretion. The procurement falls under NAICS code 611420 for Computer Training services.
The primary objective of this sole source procurement is to acquire TCMax Electronic Inventory Control System capabilities including four five-business-day training sessions, each accommodating up to 20 students with two certified instructors per session. The comprehensive service package includes tailored system configuration, baseline inventory population, functional testing, and a 10-day episodic on-site support period featuring guided troubleshooting, validation, and user assistance. Interested firms may submit information demonstrating their ability to satisfy the requirement, with responses due no later than 12:00 PM EST on August 26, 2025, via email to the Contracting Office. The sole source justification is based on Soaring Software Solutions being the original developer and exclusive authorized source for TCMax software, maintaining proprietary rights to source code, system architecture, and training materials that no other vendors are authorized to distribute or replicate. The government determined that utilizing alternative vendors would compromise system security, invalidate warranties, and potentially result in ineffective training due to lack of access to proprietary tools and workflows.
