Purchase of iText by Apryse Maintenance

This government Request for Quotation (RFQ) document, SP4701-26-Q-0029, outlines the procurement of brand-name specific iText Suite by Apryse software and associated technical support and maintenance for DLA Information Operations. The purpose of the software is to integrate PDF creation and management with DLA applications. The solicitation details a firm-fixed-price delivery order with a base year and two option years, covering the period from December 2025 to December 2028. The award will be made to a single vendor based on the lowest-priced, technically acceptable proposal. Key submission deadlines include December 5, 2025, for technical questions and December 8, 2025, for all offers. The document also incorporates various FAR clauses related to commercial items, ethics, and prohibitions on certain foreign-made hardware and software, emphasizing compliance and integrity in government contracting.

The DLA Contracting Services Office – Philadelphia (DCSO-P) is seeking to procure iText by Apryse software technical support and software maintenance for a period of performance from December 2025 through December 2028, consisting of a 12-month base and two 12-month options. This acquisition is being conducted under a justification and approval for other than full and open competition, citing 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, due to Apryse being the sole responsible source. The government requires this specific brand-name product because no other software is compatible with existing DLA licenses, and only Apryse or its certified reseller, Tandesa, can provide the necessary specialized support. Market research confirmed no other products meet DLA's needs. Pricing will be determined fair and reasonable using various analysis techniques before the award.
