About this file
This is a Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memorandum for a Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) action at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD).
The procurement is for LightningChart.NET software licenses to support STAFAC2/AMFIP development requirements and existing systems at NSWCCD STAFAC and SEAFAC installations. The requirement includes five line items: two Gold Package perpetual licenses with 12-month standard support subscriptions for WinForms; four Bronze Package perpetual licenses with 12-month standard support subscriptions for WinForms; one Gold Package perpetual license with an eight-month prorated subscription renewal beginning September 12, 2026; and two optional items for annual subscription renewals over four years (twelve Gold Package licenses and sixteen Bronze Package licenses). The manufacturer is LightningChart Ltd., located at Tehdaskatu 24 B, Kuopio, 70620 Finland, with point of contact Robert Taylor at robert.taylor@lightningchart.com. The justification for non-competitive procurement is based on the brand name determination under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and FAR 8.405-6, as LightningChart.NET is proprietary software owned exclusively by LightningChart Ltd. with restrictive intellectual property rights established through copyrights and proprietary processes. The memorandum was technically certified by an engineer on March 24, 2026, and approved by the Contracting Officer on May 21, 2026.

SUBJECT: Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memo for Actions Under SAT
I. BACKGROUND
1. FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available.
2. FAR 8.405-6 allows for limiting sources for orders or BPAs under Federal Supply Schedules under certain circumstances or for items peculiar to one manufacturer
3. As required by FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), FAR 8.405-6(a)(1), or FAR 8.405-6(b)(2), this memorandum explains the absence of competition for this acquisition, as only one source will be solicited for this requirement (or for a portion of the requirement) and the requirement is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.
