About this file
This is a Notice of Intent for a sole-source procurement of Pointwise software and support services. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to Cadence Design Systems, Inc., the sole source provider of the required Pointwise support, using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The procurement is restricted to a single source because Cadence is the only available provider of the required support with no compatible software alternatives on the market. The solicitation number is N0016726Q1096, and the applicable NAICS code is 513210 with a business size threshold of $47 million.
Interested parties may submit capabilities statements to demonstrate their interest by the deadline of 12:00 PM on May 1, 2026. This notice is explicitly not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responses received by the deadline will be evaluated by the Government to determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement or continue with the sole-source award. The Government retains sole discretion in making this determination. Inquiries regarding this opportunity should be directed to Michael Bonaiuto at michael.j.bonaiuto.civ@us.navy.mil. The procuring agency is the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for Pointwise software and support. 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). The basis for restricting competition is for the following reasons: Cadence is the only source of the required support, with no compatible software on the market. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to Cadence Design Systems, Inc. using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 12:00PM May 01 2026. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by 12:00PM Noon on 05/01/2026 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
Inquiries should be directed to both Michael Bonaiuto at michael.j.bonaiuto.civ@us.navy.mil.
