    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Alaska State Office, is requesting authorization for an award under other than full and open competition to procure a Carlson software package for Civil, GIS, and Survey applications. Due to the obsolescence of internally developed software used for cadastral surveys, the BLM has determined that off-the-shelf solutions are now necessary. The proposed software will enhance surveys by providing advanced capabilities that align with BLM-specific tasks, with an estimated cost of $106,837.50 for 37 units. The justification references 41 U.S.C. 253(c) for restricted competition, highlighting that Carlson is the sole provider able to meet BLM’s unique requirements. Despite responses from various software developers during market research, only Carlson’s software was found to adequately address the specific needs of BLM Alaska. The contracting officers certified that the procurement process is justifiable under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring fair government pricing. No other software vendors were identified as capable of supporting the mission, and BLM does not plan to seek alternatives for the foreseeable future. Overall, this document underscores the BLM's commitment to maintaining effective cadastral projects through specialized software procurement.
