NOTICE OF INTENT TO EXERCISE AN OPTION PERIOD OF SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE ORDER This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. This is not a solicitation or request for offers. No solicitation package is available and telephone requests will not be honored. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. In accordance with FAR 17.207(f), the option of Purchase Order HSBP1015P00712 was evaluated as part of the initial competition and is being exercised at an amount specified in the terms of the basic contract. The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) for this requirement is 334119: Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing The Federal Supply Code (FSC) / Product Service Code (PSC) procurement is 7021: ADP Central Processing Unit (CPU, Computer), Digital The WSPD Wireless Engineering Branch (WEB) seeks to obtain software maintenance agreements for the previously purchased Commercial-off-the-shelf EDX SignalPro wireless propagation modeling software that supports multi-band and multi-technology Radio Frequency (RF) platforms, including an underlying Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data set. In addition, the software provides terrain analysis, visualization of communication coverage, network planning, propagation modeling and network performance simulations, frequency planning, interference prediction, traffic and capacity planning, and drive test analysis. This software suite has the ability to design and simulate various technologies and shall support modeling and simulation of multiple frequencies. The Maintenance Agreement for this software allows the software vendor to provide ongoing technical support, new software releases, and bug fixes. The vendor of the EDX SignalPro software is the sole proprietor of this type and make of software. It is proprietary software that is not sold or supported by anyone but EDX. The government has already purchased two software licenses. This procurement is for maintenance of that software. This software is required to provide communications predictions and performance analysis of the RF network by conduction terrain analysis, visualization of communication coverage, network planning, propagation modeling and network performance simulations, frequency planning, interference prediction, traffic and capacity planning, and drive test analysis.
