D -- TeleAtlas User License

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) plans to award a sole source contract to TeleAtlas North America, Inc. to provide access and user licenses for geospatial analysis tools tailored for public health applications, including demographic analysis, medical geography, exposure assessment, and containment modeling within an existing GIS format. This contract utilizes the authority under FAR 6.302-1, affirming the sole source nature of the procurement. The initial performance period is one year from the date of award, with the possibility of four one-year extensions, totaling up to five years. The cumulative contract value, including all option years, is estimated at $781,155 on a firm-fixed-price basis. This acquisition is not open for competitive proposals, and no solicitation is available. However, the CDC invites firms capable of providing similar services to notify the Contracting Officer within five days of the synopsis publication to determine if competitive procurement should be pursued. The final decision to continue with this sole source contract rests solely with the government, which will consider any submitted information exclusively for evaluating the necessity of competition. Inquiries can be addressed to the designated Contract Specialists, Phil D. Alexander and Russell T. Oxford, via provided contact information.
