NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE – Cybersecurity Research and Development Services
Solicitation # W911QX26RA020
The United States Government intends to award a sole-source, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to the University of Texas at El Paso for continuous cybersecurity research and development services in support of the DEVCOM Analysis Center laboratories. This action is justified under FAR 6.302-1 due to UTEP’s unique and irreplaceable integration with existing laboratory systems, proprietary technical expertise, and deep familiarity with the cybersecurity architecture and experimental platforms used in mission-critical weapons systems research. Transitioning this work to another contractor would introduce substantial technical risk, schedule disruptions, and potential degradation of ongoing cyber operations vital to Warfighter modernization. The contract will span five years and utilize cost-plus-fixed-fee task orders to ensure sustained support for system maintenance, updates, compatibility enforcement, and continuous cybersecurity analysis. Responses to this presolicitation notice are accepted only from responsible sources capable of meeting the requirement, but the Government retains full discretion to determine whether competition is warranted based on submissions. The deadline for submissions is 19 May 2026, and all materials must be directed to Alexander Cheatham at the U.S. Army’s Adelphi, Maryland office. UTEP, located in El Paso, Texas, is the sole entity identified as having the specialized knowledge necessary to operate within and protect the DAC laboratory environment without interruption. While the notice invites submissions from other parties, the government’s planned approach reflects an established and exclusive dependency on UTEP’s longstanding and embedded role in this highly specialized cybersecurity mission.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE – PURDUE UNIVERSITY / GTAP CONSORTIUM
Solicitation # ITC-2000-OOEC-26-18
The U.S. International Trade Commission intends to sole source a purchase order to Purdue University’s GTAP Consortium for an updated version of the Global Trade Analysis Project Critical Mineral database compatible with GTAP v12 and based on a 2023 reference year, with delivery required by October 30, 2026. This action is justified under FAR 6.302-1 due to the proprietary nature of the database, its unique methodological framework, and the absence of any other source capable of delivering a comparable product, as confirmed by market research. The contract value is estimated at $26,376, and the procurement is conducted as a simplified acquisition via purchase order under FAR 13.501, bypassing competitive procedures. The sole source justification is supported by Purdue University’s longstanding role in developing and maintaining the GTAP-CM database, which requires deep technical expertise and institutional knowledge to ensure compatibility and data integrity. The place of performance is Washington, D.C., at the U.S. International Trade Commission, although the work will be performed remotely by Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. No formal contract clauses, delivery schedules beyond the deadline, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, or quality standards are specified in the documentation, reflecting the non-competitive nature of the transaction. The Contracting Officer, Ian Quillman, is the sole point of contact for submissions, which must be received via email by August 20, 2026, within five days of the posting date. The procurement does not include options, key personnel requirements, security clearances, or organizational conflict of interest mitigations, and no representations or certifications from the offeror are required or provided. The vendor’s identity and address are confirmed, but no UEI, CAGE, or socioeconomic status information is available, and no payment, invoicing, or accounting details beyond the estimated value have been outlined. The update will be delivered electronically, with acceptance occurring at the government’s designated location based on compliance with the GTAP v12 standard and 2023 reference year.
