The Naval Sea Systems Command awarded a $31,890 firm fixed-price purchase order to MLC Cad Systems, LLC on July 10, 2025, for Mastercam Mill 3D multi-surface software licenses and related maintenance support. The contract, which carries no small business set-aside designation, supports the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS&IMF) in Bremerton, Washington, and extends through December 31, 2025. MLC Cad Systems, a woman-owned and veteran-owned small business based in Austin, Texas, was selected as the sole source contractor following market research that determined alternative software solutions would require significant reengineering and risk mission delays for critical naval vessel maintenance operations.
The procurement originated as a solicitation posted on June 13, 2025, and included requirements for two Mastercam Mill 3D licenses for multi-surface machining and two Multi-Axis add-on licenses with corresponding maintenance agreements—six total software licenses essential for advanced machining operations. MLC Cad Systems specializes as an authorized Original Equipment Manufacturer reseller of CAD/CAM software and has an established track record supplying Mastercam solutions to Naval Sea Systems Command and other Department of Defense facilities. The company has previously delivered these specialized software packages to PSNS&IMF and maintains strong relationships with major defense prime contractors including Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, Science Applications International Corporation, and Northrop Grumman Systems Corp.
