Intent to Sole Source VFA Capital Planning Database Subscription

The FDA Office of the Commissioner’s Engineering Management Branch is moving to sole source a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order for the VFA Capital Planning Database subscription and associated professional support services, awarded to The Gordian Group, Inc., under FAR 6.302-1, citing that no other supplier can meet the agency’s unique requirements. The contract covers a one-year base period with four additional one-year options, for a potential five-year performance period, with the place of performance located in Silver Spring, Maryland. The scope includes a full VFA database license granting access to the software platform, ongoing updates, and standard technical support, alongside an annual allocation of forty hours of remote professional services delivered via phone or web conference. These services encompass data maintenance and importation, custom reporting and dashboard development, executive-level presentations, building lifecycle modeling, software expert sessions, advanced one-on-one training, software integration support, and custom development, all subject to mutual agreement. Although the total contract value and unit pricing are not disclosed, any on-site travel requested by the FDA will be billed separately as incurred. The procurement, solicitation number FDA75F40126Q00173, falls under NAICS 541511 for custom computer programming services and involves no set-aside status. The notice was posted on May 29, 2026, with a June 10, 2026 deadline for capability statements from other parties who believe they can meet the requirements, though such submissions do not obligate the government to compete the award, and failure to receive viable alternatives will result in an award to The Gordian Group, Inc. All communications must be submitted electronically to Terina Hicks at the designated email address, with no telephone inquiries permitted.
