This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract to Harris Geospatial Solutions, Inc (HGSI). The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) has a requirement for software maintenance support to existing Envi & IDL software licenses already in operational use.

A sole source justification is being prepared in accordance with FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1) due to HGSI being the exclusive manufacturer, developer, direct sales channel and distributor for Envi and IDL software licenses. The contract will have a period of performance of one (1) year and the Government anticipates award in July 2021. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes or proposals. However, vendors that have questions regarding the sole source nature of the requirement or vendors that believe they can fully provide the required services may submit substantiating written documentation to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist listed below within seven (7) calendar days of this notice. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether, and how, to proceed with the planned sole source acquisition for these requirements. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
