About this file
This is a Government Point of Entry (GPE) Post announcing a sole-source purchase order for Pointwise software and related support services. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has issued Solicitation Number N0016726Q1081 for Pointwise software to be procured exclusively from Cadence Design Systems, Inc. The Government restricts this procurement to a single source under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) because Cadence is the sole provider of the required support, with no compatible alternative software available on the market. The procurement will be awarded as a firm fixed-price purchase order using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
Interested parties may submit a capabilities statement by the deadline of 12:00 PM on May 1, 2026, to demonstrate their interest in this requirement. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all submissions received by the deadline will be reviewed by the Government for potential consideration in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead. The final decision to proceed with the sole-source award to Cadence or to open competition remains at the Government's sole discretion. The requirement involves a $47 million business size under NAICS code 513210. Inquiries regarding this opportunity should be directed to Michael Bonaiuto at michael.j.bonaiuto.civ@us.navy.mil. The contracting agency is the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command.

The compliant material is available solely from Cadence Design Systems, Inc., as the required support can only be purchased through Cadence. The NAICS code is 513210 and the business size is $47 million.
The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to Cadence. The proposed action is for Pointwise support, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii).
