ACEIT Software Renewal

Notice of Intent to Sole Source: U.S. Customs and Border Protection intends to issue a firm fixed price award to Tecolote Research, Inc. for Automated Cost Estimated Integrated Tools (ACEIT) software licenses. The ACEIT suite is an industry standard and government-wide accepted tool to support acquisition program lifestyle cost estimates (PLCCE) development. The tool provides unique and tailored capabilities which streamline the effort required to build and sustain PLCCEs.

In accordance with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Management Directive 102-01, program lifecycle cost estimates (PLCCE) are required to support key acquisition program milestones. The ACEIT licenses and training will help CBP Air and Marine Operations (AMO) meet the DHS policy. AMO utilizes ACEIT to develop cost models that help in the development of the AMO budget. Maintaining the most current software license of ACEIT allows AMO to receive technical support and product updates.

The anticipated period of performance is a base year from April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026 with the potential of two (2) option years through March 31, 2028. This notice is neither a request for proposal nor an invitation for bids. There is no formal solicitation available for this requirement at this time. If any contractors feel that they can meet the requirements, please contact the Contracting Officer by e-mail at caitlin.m.jenkins@cbp.dhs.gov by the response date and time listed with this notice.
