Intent to Sole Source Red Hat AI Enterprise Software Buy

The National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) is seeking to acquire Red Hat OpenShift AI software licenses to extend its existing Red Hat OpenShift environment with a secure, scalable AI/ML platform. Because the required product is a proprietary commercial offering that must integrate with the agency’s current Red Hat OpenShift deployment, NGA has coordinated a sole‑source procurement directly with Red Hat, which has identified Flywheel Data, LLC as the sole authorized reseller capable of delivering the subscriptions and support. This opportunity is essentially a purchase of software licenses and associated services rather than a traditional services contract. • Requirement: Red Hat OpenShift AI software licenses and support for NGA’s AI/ML workloads. • Sole‑source justification: Product must integrate with existing Red Hat OpenShift; only one authorized reseller (Flywheel Data, LLC) can supply the needed subscriptions. • Procurement type: Intent to Sole Source (no competitive bidding). • NAICS code indicated: 541519 – Other Computer Related Services. • Point of contact: Marleane Williams (NGA).
