Spectrum Engineering Technical Services Support and Licenses

The Department of the Interior, Interior Business Center, on behalf of the Office of Chief Information Officer, intends to sole-source award a contract for Spectrum Engineering Technical Services Support and Licenses with a September 11, 2026 capability-statement deadline, under FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source). The NAICS code is 541330 (Engineering Services), small business size standard $25.5 million.

The contract will support Radio Frequency coordination analysis mandated by the Presidential Memorandum on Modernizing United States Spectrum Policy and Establishing a National Spectrum Strategy, specifically analysis of the 4400–4940 Megahertz frequency band. The contractor will conduct RF analysis, planning, and coordination studies using proprietary Spectrum Unlimited software licenses to evaluate impact on DOI systems operating in the 4 GHz point-to-point frequency bands and identify frequencies suitable for repurposing to support innovative wireless technologies.

Spectrum Center Government Services, LLC (McLean, Virginia) is identified as the sole-source recipient. The Department justifies the sole-source award because Spectrum Center Government Services is the only source capable of providing the required services and licenses—the Spectrum software is proprietary with no resellers available—and possesses specialized knowledge of DOI's National Field Communication and Spectrum operations and prior performance on similar RF coordination analysis.

The contract includes a base period from September 26, 2026 through September 25, 2027, with three optional one-year periods extending through August 26, 2030. Interested parties may submit capability statements by email to Cynthia_c_garrison@ibc.doi.gov as Microsoft Word or PDF attachments, demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government.
