    Redacted J and A ITRON CIRCUIT 6061840.pdf
    The Department of the Navy's Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC) seeks authorization to procure a sole-source follow-on contract with Itron, Inc. for software licensing related to the Comprehensive Utilities Information Tracking System (CIRCUITS). This contract, extending from FY25 through FY30, is justified under 10 U.S.C. §2304 (c)(1) due to Itron's proprietary ownership of essential software maintenance and technical support, without which operations could be significantly disrupted. The requirement encompasses software updates and maintenance services for critical utilities management systems across approximately 13,000 meters. Market research confirmed the absence of alternative suppliers capable of providing these services, prompting reliance on Itron to ensure compliance with audit requirements and uninterrupted system functionality. While NAVFAC is exploring alternatives for the future, immediate needs necessitate this sole-source procurement to maintain operational integrity and compliance with Department of Defense standards.
