Q-STAR Renewal

The purpose of this synopsis is to provide notice of Naval Information Warfare Center
(NIWC) Atlantic's intent to award a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order on a non-competitive
basis to QTEC Solutions, Inc. for the acquisition of one (1) Q-STAR Obsol Mgmt licence.
Manufacturer is QTEC Solutions, Inc., 4660 La Jolla Village DR STE 100 #3065, San
Diego, California, 92122. Part number is Q-STAR. Description: Q-STAR OBSOL MGMT (1
YR from Date of Award).
The Government intends to negotiate solely with Q-STAR under the authority of FAR Part
13.106-1(b). There is a lack of competition due to the fact that no other solution can be
implemented for the continuity of the system already in use. Due to the restrictive rights
of the software solution being procured there is no other feasible solution to the
Government's needs.
The NAICS Code is (541519) and the Small Business Size Standard is (150).
This notice is not a request for competitive quotes; however, any responsible source
believing that it can fulfill the requirement may submit a capability statement, proposal,
or quotation.
Responses to the pre-solicitation notice can be submitted via the NAVWAR E-Commerce
website at NAVWAR E-Commerce Central (navy.mil) by Friday, August 9, 2023.
