About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is seeking to procure Active Vector Cast software and support, specifically VectorCAST/Ada Desktop Edition perpetual licenses and annual maintenance. The Department of the Navy is soliciting a sole-source purchase order from Vector North America (VNA), Inc., under the justification that VNA is the only source for this specialized software used in validating safety-critical embedded systems. The solicitation is being conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures with NAICS code 513210, and interested parties may submit capabilities statements by 11:59 AM EST on December 4, 2024. While this is not a competitive proposal request, the government will consider all responses received by the deadline and retains discretion on whether to compete the requirement. Questions regarding the solicitation are due by 11:59 AM EST on December 2, 2024, and should be directed to Michael Bonaiuto.
The procurement is not set aside for any specific business category and will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price purchase order. Vector North America Inc., located in East Greenwich, RI, is the sole manufacturer and proposed contractor for this requirement. The solicitation includes 5 VectorCAST/Ada Desktop Edition perpetual licenses and 5 annual maintenance subscriptions, with a business size standard of $47 million. Delivery is required within 5 days after contract award, with items to be shipped to NSWC Carderock in West Bethesda, MD, where inspection and acceptance will occur at the destination. The government has determined that no other commercial software provides comparable functionality and compatibility, and implementing alternative tools would not be cost-effective or feasible for their specific requirements.
Notice text
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for Active Vector Cast software and support. The compliant material is available solely from Vector North America (VNA), Inc., as the required support can only be purchased through VNA. The NAICS code is 513210 and the business size is $47 million.
The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to VNA. The proposed action is for Active Vector Cast support, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The basis for restricting competition is for the following reasons: VNA is the only source of the required support, with no compatible software on the market. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to Vector North America, Inc. using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 11:59AM 04 December 2024. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by 11:59AM on 12/04/2024 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
Inquiries should be directed to both Michael Bonaiuto at michael.j.bonaiuto.civ@us.navy.mil.
