Notice of Intent - Qlik Saas (USDA STRATUS)

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) intends to award a firm-fixed-price task order to Carahsoft Technology Corp. for Qlik Software as a Service (SaaS). This procurement, identified under NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers) and PSC DA10 (IT and Telecom - Business Application/Application Development Software as a Service), includes the licensing, support, and necessary services required for secure, scalable, and compliant data analytics and visualization. As a sub-agency of the USDA, FSIS is utilizing the STRATUS Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for this acquisition, as Carahsoft Technology Corp. is the sole authorized reseller for Qlik SaaS under that vehicle.

The anticipated performance period consists of a one-year base period with four one-year option periods, potentially extending the total duration to five years. While this notice is not a request for competitive proposals, the agency will consider capability statements, proposals, or quotations from responsible sources submitted to the contract specialist, Eric Schnitzler, by the response deadline of April 24, 2026. The primary place of performance is Washington, DC. This acquisition leverages existing contract vehicles to provide mission-critical SaaS capabilities in accordance with the USDA STRATUS BOA and federal acquisition regulations.
