    Notice of Intent to Sole Source Award: GEO Jobe GIS Consulting software license subscription

    The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the Indian Health Service, intends to negotiate a Firm Fixed Price sole source contract with GEO Jobe GIS Consulting for the renewal and maintenance of existing software licenses. This contract is necessary to support the Office of Environmental Health and Engineering (OEHE) Sanitation Facilities Construction (SFC) Program within the Indian Health Service. The software licenses are used to maintain an on-premise GIS portal, software subscriptions, and various technical support.

    The GIS portal is shared with several other IHS programs to collect and share data. It supports basic needs and services but requires a license renewal to maintain applied security permissions for map services at the group level. The software tool also supports ongoing agency COVID-19 data collection and reporting for over 350 IHS/Tribal users at 500+ hospitals and health care centers. Additionally, it supports complex workflows related to sanitation facilities construction and installed utilities.

    If the contract is awarded to another vendor, the government would incur a duplication of cost/effort estimated at approximately 3-4 times the cost of the current product. This is due to the time it would take to review, plan, test, and implement an alternative solution.

    Under this acquisition, the government intends to purchase GEO Jobe Security Manager NEXT software licenses. The quantities required are one (1) GEO Jobe Security Manager NEXT-(up to 4 Cores) and two (2) GEO Jobe Security Manager NEXT-(additional 4 cores). These licenses are necessary to enhance security and permissions software within the existing IHS OEHE Portal for ArcGIS platform, manage utility infrastructure and as-built data, control access to map services and portal groups, support COVID-19 data collection and reporting, and provide technical support and access to new releases.

    The anticipated period of performance for this contract is one (1) year from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025, with a total anticipated cost of $15,000.00.

    Please note that this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, interested firms may submit a capability statement in response to the requirement. The deadline for capability statement submission is 3:00 PM Eastern Time on August 2, 2024. The primary contact for this procurement is Colleen Henry, Contract Specialist, who can be reached at (240) 463-3813 or colleen.henry@ihs.gov. The government retains the discretion to determine whether or not to open competition-based responses to this notice.
