AI Contract Overview

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Office of Coast Survey intends to award a sole-source purchase order to Quality Positioning Services (QPS), Inc. for annual maintenance and support of its proprietary hydrographic software suite, including Fledermaus, Fledermaus FMGT, Fledermaus FM Midwater, QImera, and QINSY, along with associated add-ons. QPS is the exclusive owner and distributor of these tools to the federal government, and no authorized resellers or alternative vendors exist that can provide comparable functionality. These software products are mission-critical for processing and visualizing hydrographic survey data, enabling NOAA to generate high-quality bathymetry and acoustic backscatter datasets essential for nautical charting, ocean mapping, safe navigation, environmental protection, and economic development. The FMGT component is uniquely capable of producing Generic Sensor Format (GSF) files and supports intra-vessel decibel correctors, a feature necessary for single-frequency mosaic creation on vessels equipped with multiple sonars, a capability unavailable in competing software. NOAA currently operates more than 20 licenses across its survey fleet and requires ongoing access to security patches, software updates, feature enhancements, and technical support to maintain operational readiness. The contract period extends from the date of award through September 29, 2027, and is categorized under NAICS code 513210 for software publishers with no set-aside provisions. Market research confirmed no viable alternatives meet NOAA’s technical requirements, justifying the sole-source determination under FAR 6.103-1. This presolicitation notice is not a request for competitive bids, but firms may submit substantiating documentation or requests for additional information by August 11, 2026, to challenge the sole-source justification. All submissions must be in writing and will be reviewed solely to determine whether the procurement should be opened to competition, with the government retaining full discretion over the final procurement strategy. No oral communications will be accepted. The point of contact is Chelsea Vera at [email hidden], and performance will primarily occur in Silver Spring, Maryland, with acquisition managed from Norfolk, Virginia.
