D--MapQuest License Renewal

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command requires the renewal of its MapQuest license, a proprietary service vital to its operations. This renewal is being processed through Gov.Works under the Department of the Interior's franchise authority, following the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.5, which governs the Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. The contract is planned as a sole source negotiation directly with MapQuest, consistent with FAR 6.302-1, allowing the government to bypass competitive bidding due to the proprietary nature of the licenses. Although this is not a solicitation for competitive proposals, all proposals submitted within five working days after the notice’s publication will be considered. The contract, titled “D--MapQuest License Renewal” and identified by solicitation number DOI-SNOTE-030407-001, was officially posted on April 7, 2003. It is managed by the Acquisition Management Division within the Department of the Interior, with the office located in Sterling, Virginia. No specific details on set-asides, NAICS codes, or place of performance were provided, reflecting the specialized and non-competitive nature of the procurement. The government aims to ensure uninterrupted access to these proprietary mapping services, integral to the Naval Facilities Engineering Command’s functionality.
