70--Sole source synopsis

NAVSUP FLC Philadelphia plans to acquire Chameleon software for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service through a sole source procurement process, bypassing full and open competition as authorized under FAR 13.106-1(b). The contract will be awarded directly to Applied Fundamentals Consulting LLC, although the government invites interested parties to express their interest and capability to fulfill the requirement within two days following the publication of this notice. This outreach is not a solicitation for competitive proposals but is intended to gather information to determine whether a competitive procurement is necessary. The government retains sole discretion to proceed with the sole source contract or open the process based on responses received. The contract, identified by solicitation number N0018919QZ008 and posted on August 6, 2019, falls under the NAICS code 334614, which relates to software and related services. The government will not compensate respondents for the information submitted, and the decision to compete the procurement depends entirely on the government's assessment. There are no specified set-asides or particular requirements concerning the organizational type or place of performance disclosed in the synopsis.
