D -- D-Annual Software Maintenance

The Government plans to award a sole source contract to Deep Web Technologies for annual software maintenance of their proprietary Distributed Explorit Application. This noncompetitive contract is justified under federal acquisition regulations and relevant U.S. code for sole source procurement. The contract will consist of a base period of four months with two additional one-year option periods, ensuring ongoing maintenance support for the software. This announcement serves solely as an informational synopsis and does not constitute a solicitation for proposals. Questions or requests for additional details are directed to a specified government contact via written electronic communication. The maintenance service is critical due to the proprietary nature of the software, which restricts competition. The contract reference number and posting date provide administrative tracking information, but no solicitation document or set-aside type is available.
