About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical Directorate in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, intends to award a firm-fixed-price, sole-source contract to Carahsoft Technology Corp, on behalf of Nuance, for PowerScribe 360 post-warranty maintenance, updates, and software licenses, with interested-source submissions due November 18, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST. The notice uses no set-aside. The sole-source basis is FAR 12.102(a), which the agency cites because only one source can provide the services at the required quality level and the services are unique or highly specialized. PowerScribe is proprietary software developed and provided exclusively by Nuance. The anticipated award date is December 2, 2026.
Place of performance is Fort Belvoir, Virginia, where PowerScribe 360 voice dictation systems are already in place. The agency states that lapsed maintenance and licensing would cause significant work stoppage for radiology voice dictation, so only the exact brand-name maintenance and licenses will meet the need. The delivery schedule will be discussed before award. The source does not state a quantity, period of performance, or award value.
The notice is not a request for competitive quotes. Interested and capable sources may submit technical data within seven calendar days of posting, no later than November 18, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST, to Marco Sifoni at marco.g.sifoni@dla.mil. Telephone calls will not be honored. The agency cites FAR 12.201-1(c)(2) for its intent to solicit the requirement.
