About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command seeks licensing, maintenance, support, and training for KE EMu database software on a sole source basis with Axiell ALM Canada Inc., with quotes due September 11, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST. This is a commercial items procurement under FAR 12 using simplified acquisition procedures; the Small Business Office concurs with the sole source determination.
Place of performance is Washington, DC (Naval History and Heritage Command). The procurement covers 50 concurrent user runtime licenses for EMu version 9.1 (40 production, 10 test) hosted in the KE GovCloud Amazon Commercial Cloud environment, annual maintenance and technical support, and 2-day remote training for one to two users. The period of performance runs from September 29, 2026, through September 28, 2027, with two option years. The NAICS code is 541519, Other Computer Related Services; the PSC is 7A21, IT and Telecom—Business Application Software (Perpetual License Software). The small business standard is $34.0 million.
The sole source justification rests on system compatibility—EMu licenses must function seamlessly with the existing KE GovCloud Amazon Commercial Cloud environment and current database features—and proprietary considerations. SECNAV has directed the KE EMu GovCloud as the COTS solution for managing Navy historical artifacts; the KE EMu DONCOMS system is proprietary to Axiell ALM. Axiell ALM Canada Inc. is identified as the original manufacturer and sole source of EMu licenses and preferred support in North America.
Award will be based on price reasonableness evaluation per FAR Part 12. Quotes must include completed price lists, all terms and conditions, and supporting documentation, and remain valid for 30 days. Technical support must follow strict troubleshooting protocols with issues tracked through closure and root cause analysis provided upon completion. The contracting officer is Cody Witz at Naval Supply Corps Logistics Command Norfolk; inquiries go to Trumeka King at trumeka.c.king.civ@us.navy.mil.
