About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) Attachment detailing a sole source contract for specialized engineering software access. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) intends to award a contract to MARIN (Stichting Maritiem Research Instituut Nederland) for access to Cooperative Research Navies (CRNAV) and Cooperative Research Ships (CRS) software suites. Multiple market research efforts through SAM.GOV sources sought notices have been conducted, resulting in no alternative contractors identified that can provide the same specialized engineering software and validation data.

The related federal contract opportunity (Solicitation Number 70Z04025NCRS1314) is a Special Notice issued by the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard, with a response deadline of September 19, 2025. Interested firms must submit detailed documentation verifying their capability to provide the required services within 15 calendar days of the notice's posting. The government believes these software design tools are exclusively available from MARIN and intends to process the contract under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provisions related to licensing rights.
