About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source a contract for licensed software supporting the Comprehensive Utilities Information Tracking System (CIRCUITS). The notice concerns a contract with Itron, the current software provider, for continued maintenance and support of their proprietary software system. The contract will cover a total of five years, including an initial one-year term and four optional extension periods. Itron is being identified as the sole source provider due to their exclusive ownership of the source code and being the only vendor capable of maintaining the CIRCUITS software. The procurement is critical for maintaining the system's Authority to Operate (ATO), which is set to expire on 3/31/25.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to provide continuing software licensing, maintenance, and support for the Department of the Navy's utility tracking infrastructure. The contract will enable immediate access to software upgrades, updates, technical support services, and hot fixes essential for operational continuity. Contractors should note that this is not a competitive solicitation, but a sole source procurement authorized under 10 USC 2304 (c)(1). All software licenses must be registered with the Department of Defense Information Technology Portfolio Repository-DoN (DITPR-DoN) before use. While no specific contractor eligibility is outlined beyond Itron, the notice indicates that market research confirmed no alternative vendors can provide equivalent services. NAVFAC is simultaneously exploring potential future alternatives, such as OSIsoft Software, to potentially replicate CIRCUITS functionality, though this process is expected to take several years.
Notice text
THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.
This notice is being published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 5.101 requiring dissemination of information for proposed contract actions. The statutory authority for this sole source procurement is prescribed by 10 USC §2304 (c)(1) as implemented by FAR subpart 6.302 (10 U.S.C. § 3406(c)(5)) – Other than Full and Open Competition. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the Agency requirements described above.
The requirement provides licensed software that includes new versions and revisions for CIRCUITS. DoN requires that all licenses be registered with the Department of Defense Information Technology Porfolio Repository-DoN (DITPR-DoN) before it can be used. The previous contract N3943020D2213, awarded to Itron for CIRCUITS, incorporated the Maintenance Services Agreement to meet the requirements of ongoing license and maintenance support of the DoN’s currently installed software.
This requirement will also provide support and maintenance, including immediate access to upgrades, updates, hot fixes, etc., as part of the maintenance agreement. Itron is the only vendor capable of providing the necessary software maintenance and support for CIRCUITS as Itron maintains proprietary ownership of the source code. Without the continuation of the software maintenance, mission will be directly impacted as all support will cease with no access to technical support services (help desk), software releases or repair (RMA Services for any equipment).
The contract is for one year and four option year periods, a total of five years.
