Renewal of Instant Technologies Team Sessions software support used on CENTRIXS networks

The Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic is seeking to award a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order for one year of Support & Maintenance of Instant Technologies Team Sessions software used on CENTRIXS networks. The procurement will be conducted under FAR 13.106-1(b), with the government intending to negotiate exclusively with Instant Technologies Team Sessions, asserting that no other company can provide compatible software for their existing systems. Key dates include a response deadline of January 21, 2025, with responses to be submitted via the NAVWAR E-Commerce website by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Questions regarding the pre-solicitation can be directed to Marcie Wagers at her Navy email address. The government will evaluate all responses received by the deadline to determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement, with the ultimate decision remaining solely at their discretion.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside for this contract, and the NAICS Code 541511 is associated with a Large Business size standard. The contract is for a one-year duration of software support and maintenance, with Instant Technologies Team Sessions being the presumptive sole source provider. The procurement falls under the broader Defense agency category, specifically the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command. While no specific award value is mentioned, the contract is for a singular purchase order covering software support. The procurement is categorized under the Product Service Code (PSC) 12-P for Fire Control Equipment, suggesting the software supports critical military communication or coordination systems.
