Notice of Intent to Sole Source for service contract agreement for the AspenTecThe Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory plans to renew its software maintenance and support agreement with AspenTech on a sole source basis for the period from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Part 12 governing commercial acquisitions. This decision is based on the proprietary nature of AspenTech’s software, which is essential to NETL’s operations; without ongoing maintenance and support from the original manufacturer, the lab risks losing access to critical engineering tools and the potential irreversible loss of historical research data, directly impairing its ability to conduct scientific and technical work. This notice is not a solicitation for bids but rather an opportunity for other parties to demonstrate their capability to meet the same requirement, should they believe they can provide equivalent support. Any interested entity must submit written evidence of their capability by 1:00 PM EDT on August 7, 2026, to Contracting Officer Shannon Lynch at shannon.lynch@netl.doe.gov; telephone submissions will not be accepted. The government retains full discretion to determine whether competition is warranted based solely on the responses received, and all submissions will be used only to evaluate the necessity of a competitive procurement process. The contract activity is identified under NAICS code 513210 and originates from the NETL office located in Morgantown, West Virginia.
