D--Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to award a sole source contract to Pixlit Productions Inc. for the development and customization of a Microsoft Windows-based software application called Learning Target. This contract includes assistance with migrating DCAA TRAIN system data into the Learning Management System (LMS), setting up and tailoring the LMS to meet DCAA requirements, providing orientation and training support, and delivering consultation during the pilot implementation phase. Additionally, Pixlit Productions will offer ongoing maintenance and support services for 12 months, ensuring the LMS accommodates all subject matter areas relevant to DCAA courses. The award will adhere to Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 12 governing the acquisition of commercial items. This contract action is justified under FAR Part 6 subpart 6.302-1, as the Government understands that no other firms can meet the specific requirements. Although this is not a competitive solicitation, other interested firms are invited to submit capability statements with cost and pricing information by August 19, 2010. The final decision on whether to open competition remains at the Government’s discretion. The contract is associated with solicitation number W912EQ-10-S-0026 and falls under the NAICS code 541511, reflecting software development and related services, managed by the W07V Endist Memphis office within the Department of Defense.
