About this opportunity
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for PKWare Software Inc. renewal to support J9-Operations Support, with contract HC102825C0009 awarded on September 11, 2025, though the vendor and award amount remain unspecified. The justification covers software maintenance and support services for proprietary, commercial off-the-shelf PKWare software that is deeply integrated into DISA's mission partner infrastructure. DISA determined that only the original equipment manufacturer or authorized resellers can provide the necessary software support, updates, patches, and new versions due to the proprietary nature of the software and its integration into existing systems. Market research concluded that alternative products cannot seamlessly replace the current software without significant system modifications, making sole source procurement the most viable option. The Class Justification and Approval document indicates this supports a broader 5-year software support period from January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2025, and allows for competition among authorized resellers through various contract vehicles including NASA SEWP, Army CHESS, and GSA Schedules.
