Code and Description:  
 
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.  This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.    

Synopsis/Solicitation N0017824Q6777 is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ).  The synopsis/solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through the Federal Acquisition Regulation as indicated in the attached SF1449.  The SF1449 form is being utilized to generate the applicable clauses from the Standard Procurement System.  

This requirement is not eligible for small business set-aside.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to award on a sole source basis to Ansys Incorporated for the following manufactured products:  Part number LIC0050056, Ansys Zemax Optic Studio Pro. Ansys Incorporated is located in Canonburg, PA. 

The requiring activity is the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) Integrated Engagement Systems Department (E), Directed Energy & Pulsed Power Division (E10), Laser Weapons System Optics and Beam Control Branch (E18). The requested software must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing optical models and the software already installed. The license is needed to produce optical designs necessary for the success of the SEARAY beam director design. Failure to procure the necessary software will result in failure of the beam director design and lack of capability to the warfighter. If another brand of software and support is utilized, it would cause unanticipated and unbudgeted costs in excess of $300,000.00 and would delay mission requirements by an additional 12 months for training and rebuilding optical models. This additional cost could not be recovered through full and open competition.
