NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE

The NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk intends to award a sole source contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1903 and Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(A) to Panopto, Inc. for specific supplies related to their offerings. This action is based on the determination that Panopto is the only responsible source capable of fulfilling the agency’s requirements, and no other products or services will satisfy these needs. A sole source justification has been prepared and approved by the appropriate Small Business Professional, although it is not publicly posted with this notice. The notice explicitly states that this is not a solicitation for competitive proposals or quotes, and the government retains full discretion to decide whether to proceed without competition. The contract opportunity, identified by solicitation number N0018922Q0347, was posted on July 26, 2022, and falls under the NAICS code 511120, which pertains to software publishers. The office responsible is located in Norfolk, Virginia, and is part of the Department of Defense. Interested parties with questions can contact David Crouch, the Contract Specialist, via the provided email address. This sole source procurement highlights the government’s intent to streamline acquisition directly from Panopto due to unique capabilities or requirements that cannot be met by other vendors.
