70 -- Renewal of Mapinfo Software License Agreement

This announcement publicizes the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's (NGA) intent to award a call order to BPA NMA100-02-A-0007, a sole source contract to MapInfo Corporation, 4 Global View, Troy, NY 12180. NGA has entered into a sole source Enterprise License Agreement with MapInfo for renewal of software product lines for standard use based on engineering designs and market analysis, software that many employees use or are integrated into production and administrative systems, or software purchases that have reached a level where an enterprise agreement would benefit the Agency. MapInfo is the only source available in the U.S. who can provide these software licenses due to proprietary rights and copyright restrictions. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. See Numbered Note 22.
