About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), specifically the Fire Management Office under the Department of the Interior, has published a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract to Riegl USA, Inc. This special notice, posted on February 2, 2026, announces the agency's intention to award a firm fixed price sole source contract for a purchase not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. The contract will be awarded under the authority of FAR Part 13.106-1(b). The NAICS classification for this requirement is 334519, Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing. This is not a competitive solicitation but rather a notification of the agency's intent to sole source the award to a specific vendor.
The objective of the sole source contract is to secure continued access to POSPac software provided by Riegl USA, Inc., which is required for annual license renewal to support the VQ-580II Airborne Laser Scanner system. The software is essential for operational data acquisition, system integration, system verification and testing, and kinematic LiDAR data processing. Interested parties have until February 12, 2026, to submit a written statement of capabilities that includes clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Riegl USA, Inc. is identified as the only qualified contractor because the technology and equipment are proprietary to their company; however, the notice invites any other interested parties to demonstrate their capability to meet the requirement. As an international leader in airborne, mobile, terrestrial, and UAV-based laser scanning solutions with over 40 years of commercial LiDAR system production experience, Riegl specializes in pulsed time-of-flight laser radar technology.
