Teledyne CARIS Software Annual Maintenance

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), specifically the Office of Coast Survey, is seeking potential sources for an annual maintenance renewal of Teledyne CARIS software packages. The procurement involves an Enterprise Licensing Agreement for 110 software licenses across three product lines: 63 HIPS/SIPS Pro, 40 BASE Editor, and 7 BASE Manager licenses used for processing hydrographic survey data and generating nautical charts. Respondents must submit a three-page response by 1:00 PM ET on April 24, 2025, to Whitney Weireter and Nicole Lawson, including company details, System for Award Management Unique Entity Identification Number, company size/socio-economic status, point of contact information, current GSA contract details, and a clear explanation of capability to provide software licensing and maintenance. The NAICS code for this opportunity is 513210 (Software Publishers) with a size standard of $47.0 Million. Respondents should note that this is market research and not a commitment to procurement, and standard brochures will not be considered sufficient responses.

The contract includes a base year from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026, with four potential option years extending through September 30, 2030. There is no specific set-aside designation for this opportunity. The maintenance subscription will provide software updates, technical support via telephone and online helpdesk, dedicated NOAA-CARIS liaison support, and license distribution to specific NOAA offices and vessels. The software supports critical maritime operations, including commercial shipping, government operations, and recreational boating by enabling the processing of hydrographic survey data and production of nautical charts. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the licensing and maintenance agreement suggests a significant contract value spanning multiple years. The procurement is focused on ensuring continued access to essential hydrographic surveying and charting software for NOAA's maritime operations.
