Description
The Defense Logistics Agency, Troop Support, Philadelphia, PA Medical Directorate intends to award a Firm Fixed Price, Sole Source contract under the authority of FAR 12.102(a) to Carahsoft Technology Corp, on behalf of Nuance, address 11493 Sunset Hills Road, Reston, VA 20190, for the procurement of the following brand name post warranty maintenance, updates, and software licensing Product: PowerScribe 360 post warranty maintenance, software licenses This award for brand name software licenses and post warranty maintenance will be placed on a sole source basis with Carahsoft, on behalf of Nuance, as the following circumstance in FAR 12.102(a) applies: only one source is available to provide the services required at the level of quality required because the services are unique or highly specialized.
The PowerScribe software is proprietary software developed and provided exclusively by Nuance. The software licensing is for the PowerScribe 360 brand name voice dictation systems already in place at the required site, Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The absence of post warranty maintenance, updates and software licensing will cause significant work-stoppage for voice dictation for radiology systems.
Thus, only the exact brand name maintenance and licenses will meet the customer's needs. Delivery schedule will be discussed prior to issuing the award. The anticipated award date is December 2, 2026.
This notice is not a request for competitive quotes; however, that all responsible sources and interested parties may identify their interest and capability to meet the requirements by submitting technical data for this requirement data within seven calendar days of this notice posting (no later than November 18, 2026), by 2:00 PM EST, to Marco Sifoni, via email at [email protected], which shall be considered by the agency.
