About this file

This is a Notice of Intent (Sources Sought) for a sole-source procurement of Red Hat Ansible Tower licenses. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD), under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to DLT Solutions, LLC, the authorized reseller of Red Hat software under a Department of Defense Electronics License Agreement. The procurement is being restricted to a single source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) because the ELA establishes DLT Solutions as the mandatory source for the Department of the Navy. The vendor's NAICS code is 541519 with a business size of $34 million.

Interested parties must submit a capabilities statement by 12:00 PM Noon on April 14, 2026, to be considered. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responses received by the deadline will be evaluated by the Government solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead. The Government retains sole discretion to proceed with the sole-source award or open the requirement to competition. Inquiries should be directed to Michael Bonaiuto at michael.j.bonaiuto.civ@us.navy.mil. The solicitation number is N0016726Q1075.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for Red Hat software. The compliant material is available solely from Red Hat’s reseller DLT Solutions, LLC through a DOD Electronics License Agreement. The NAICS code is 541519 and the business size is $34 million.

The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to DLT. The proposed action is for Ansible Tower licenses, 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: the ELA exists as a mandatory source for the DON. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to DLT Solutions using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.

Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 12:00 PM Noon 14 April 2026. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by 12:00 PM on 04/14/2026 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.
