D--Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source Contract

The National Capital Region Contracting Center plans to award a sole source contract to Astoria Software Inc. to provide support and maintenance services for the United States Court of Appeals. The contract will be a Firm-Fixed Price agreement with a twelve-month period of performance following the award date. This procurement is made under the authority that permits awarding to only one responsible source when no other suppliers or services can meet the agency’s requirements. The associated NAICS code is 511210, with a small business size standard of $25 million. This notice serves as an intent to award rather than a solicitation for competitive proposals, and no request for proposals will be issued or accepted. Any inquiries or expressions of interest must be directed by the specified deadline to the contract specialist at the Department of Defense. This contract action is managed through the Department of Defense’s W6QK Adap Support Office located at Fort Belvoir, VA. Although the government may consider any responses received before the deadline in its final decision, it retains the discretion not to compete the contract. Phone inquiries are not permitted, and the official point of contact for correspondence is Mr. William Smith. Interested parties must submit capability statements by the set deadline for consideration, but the award is intended to proceed directly to Astoria Software Inc. based on the sole source justification.
