NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE ACTION to Rocscience Inc. for Rocscience Software Maintenance and Support Renewal

The U.S. Department of Transportation, through its Western Federal Lands Highway Division in Vancouver, Washington, intends to award a sole-source contract to Rocscience Inc. for the renewal of software maintenance and support services under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6 and FAR 13.106-1(b), which authorize streamlined procedures for commercial item acquisitions. The procurement, identified by solicitation number 69056726Q000004 and classified under NAICS code 513210 and Product Service Code 7A21, covers a one-year period from January 20, 2026, to January 20, 2027, and is entirely non-competitive, as Rocscience Inc. is the only responsible source capable of providing the required software updates, technical support, and licensing compliance for the agency’s existing Rocscience software licenses. No formal evaluation factors, weightings, or scoring criteria apply due to the sole-source nature of the action; instead, the notice requests expressions of interest from other potential vendors to confirm there are no suitable alternatives, with responses due by January 15, 2026, at 2:00 PM PT via email to WFL.Purchasing@dot.gov. The contract will be executed as a firm-fixed-price commercial acquisition with no physical deliverables, packaging, marking, or preservation requirements, consistent with the nature of remote software services. Pricing details have not been disclosed, and no contract value has been estimated at this stage. The contracting office, located at 610 E Fifth Street, Vancouver, WA, serves as both the point of performance and administrative center, with Haydar Mohammad acting as the primary contact for submissions and inquiries. No certifications related to small business status, socioeconomic programs, labor standards, or security clearances are required, and no additional clauses, options, key personnel, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are specified in the notice. The Unique Entity ID for Rocscience Inc. is listed as W98CSJNNMQ47, but no CAGE code or size certification is provided, and the vendor’s compliance with federal commercial item acquisition standards is assumed under the applicable FAR provisions.
