Sole Source Rationale Redacted.pdf

This Sole Source Rationale document justifies a direct procurement of Mastercam Mill 3D software licenses for the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS&IMF), managed by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The document details the critical need for six total Mastercam software licenses, including Multi-Axis, Add-On, and Dynamic Motion Technology licenses, which are essential for advanced machining capabilities, mission-critical tasks, and cybersecurity maintenance in naval repair and maintenance operations.

The proposed sole source contractor is MLC CAD Systems, LLC, selected after market research conducted from March to May 2025 determined that no competitive alternatives exist that can fully meet the government's requirements. The procurement aims to ensure uninterrupted productivity, support mission-critical tasks for surface craft and submarines, and maintain the existing technological infrastructure without disruptive changes. The period of performance will extend through December 31, 2025, with an estimated value redacted from the document. The rationale emphasizes that alternative software would require significant reengineering, potentially causing mission delays and increased expenses.
