About this opportunity
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) through its Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization intends to negotiate a sole source contract with PKWare, Inc. for software maintenance support services. The procurement covers annual software maintenance for PKZip for zSeries, software maintenance Standard 16.1, and PK Encrypt for Z, software maintenance Standard 17.0. The sole source justification is based on PKWare being the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the only source capable of providing software maintenance for their proprietary licensed products, as they hold exclusive rights to the source code. DISA is conducting a sources sought notice to identify potential alternative vendors who must submit detailed capability statements demonstrating their ability to provide equivalent services. The deadline for capability statement submissions is 15 days from the July 3, 2025 notification date, with responses due by July 24, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and PKWare, Inc. serves as the current incumbent contractor, classified as a Large Business with CAGE code 0G2W6. The proposed contract will be structured as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) arrangement with a base year performance period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The contract includes an unfunded Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) to accommodate potential additional license requirements that may arise during the performance period. The procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers, which will be used to determine company size status for any responding vendors. No reimbursement will be provided to vendors for preparing capability statements in response to this sources sought notice.
