Redacted Sole Source Justification_ Metalex.pdf

This document is a sole source justification for the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command solicitation N0016723Q0263 for post processor and simulation development services. The justification requests approval to award the contract to Metalex on a sole source basis due to their unique qualifications. Metalex is the incumbent contractor and holds proprietary rights to the simulation software required, making them the only company capable of providing the required maintenance, support and enhancement services. The justification outlines Metalex's extensive experience developing and supporting the simulation software over the past 10 years, and notes that transitioning the work to a new contractor would significantly delay the project and increase costs. Approval is requested to award a one-year $500,000 contract to Metalex on a sole source basis to continue providing post processing and simulation support services.
