This is a Sole Source Memorandum justifying a restricted competition acquisition for Siemens Zuken E3 Cable Software and Software Maintenance.

The Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Surface Warfare Center (Panama City Division) intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order on a sole source basis to Zuken USA Inc. (238 Littleton Road, Suite 100, Westford, MA 01886) for the acquisition of Zuken E3 Series cable software and software maintenance. The contract action will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures with a total dollar value above micro-purchase levels but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000.00. All software will be delivered no later than thirty days after award. The specific items being acquired are: E3.Cable Professional (US E3 Edition) Floating License (Part Number US-CAB_P-SF-L, Quantity 1) and E3.Cable Small Project (US E3 Edition) F (Part Number US-CAB_S-SF-M, Quantity 1).

The justification for sole source procurement is based on FAR 12.102(a), asserting that Zuken E3 cable software is the only software capable of meeting the Government's minimum needs for the creation, modification, and management of specific technical requirements. The memorandum emphasizes that E3 software is sold and distributed exclusively by Zuken USA Inc., with no authorized third parties, resellers, or dealers permitted to represent these products. The contracting officer will determine that the order represents best value considering price, recurring costs, administrative costs, and engineering expenses. The acquisition will be advertised on the Government Point of Entry website (SAM.gov). No market research was conducted among schedule holders, as Zuken is identified as the sole capable source. The document is dated 19 August 2026.
