This solicitation is designated as a Single Feasible Source procurement, which restricts competition to the vendor determined to be the sole practical provider based on unique expertise and specialized capabilities. The World Institute on Disability is identified as the incumbent vendor and sole source provider, given their status as the organization that originally created and currently maintains the DB 101 system, making them the only qualified entity to perform the required quality assurance and maintenance services. The specialized nature of the work and the existing infrastructure of the DB 101 platform necessitate continuity with the original developer, effectively limiting this opportunity to the identified vendor. The estimated total contract amount is $38,786.88 for the DB 101 subscription line item, with pricing specified in US Dollars to two decimal places. The requisition number is SFS DMH 0000000020SL, and the single feasible source number is S26-068.
