STRIKE Application Enterprise Licenses, Upgrade & Maintenance, and Enhancements

SPAWARSYSCEN Charleston plans to enter into a sole source contract with I.D.E.A.L. Technology Corporation for the acquisition of one STRIKE Application Enterprise License. I.D.E.A.L. Technology Corporation, located in Orlando, Florida, is the sole manufacturer and holds proprietary rights to the equipment, which justifies the non-competitive procurement approach. The contract will be a Firm Fixed Price type and will be executed under the Test Procedures outlined in FAR Part 13.5. The relevant North American Industry Classification System code associated with this procurement is 541511, with a size standard of $23 million. The contract involves not only the licensing but potentially also the upgrade, maintenance, and enhancements of the STRIKE Application Enterprise software, emphasizing ongoing support beyond the initial license purchase. The Department of Defense’s NIWC Atlantic office in North Charleston, South Carolina, will be the responsible agency overseeing the contract. Inquiries regarding this procurement were due by April 3, 2007, and were directed to Jo Ann Lawless, the point of contact at SPAWARSYSCEN Charleston. This contract represents a targeted acquisition with no solicitation for competing proposals, reflecting the proprietary nature of the technology and the specific requirements of the government agency.
