Sole Source Justification
This is a Sole Source Justification for a Firm Fixed-Price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Call Order issued by the Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard (USCG) Polar Security Cutter (PSC) and Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) program offices. The contractor is DLT Solutions, located at 2411 Dulles Corner Park, Suite 800, Herndon, VA 20171. The procurement covers the annual renewal of Navisworks software licenses and related Autodesk products for the OPC and PSC program offices under existing BPA N66001-19-A-0051, which expires March 31, 2029. The current Call Order 70Z02325F45900001 expires in August 2026, necessitating a renewal. The requirement includes Single-user Navisworks Manage subscriptions for OPC (12-month period of performance through August 11, 2027) and PSC (11-month period of performance through August 11, 2027), and Multi-user Navisworks licenses for an approximately 8-month period. The funding is Fiscal Year 2026.
The justification is based on FAR RFO section 538.7104-3 for sole source acquisitions exceeding the Micropurchase Threshold but not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, citing exclusive licensing agreements and items particular to one manufacturer. DLT Solutions is the sole authorized reseller for Autodesk products to the Department of War under the Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI) program. Navisworks Manage is essential for 3D model review, coordination, and clash detection for vessel design and modification. The justification notes that procurement from alternative resellers would violate the DoW-wide ESI agreement terms and direct procurement from Autodesk is prohibited under the agreement. Failure to approve would critically disrupt engineering, naval architecture, and maintenance operations, delaying key projects and impacting mission readiness and operational capability.
