Annual Maintenance

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is seeking a sole-source procurement for Keysight perpetual software licenses and KeysightCare support services for the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane. The solicitation covers five specific Contract Line Items (CLINs) for PathWave software products, including System Design Core with RF capabilities, RF System Explorer, RFPro HFSS Link Option, ADS Core with comprehensive design features, and RF Synthesis Genesys Core. Each software license will include a 12-month floating single-site KeysightCare software support subscription. The solicitation was issued on December 26, 2024, with responses due by December 27, 2024, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. While the procurement is structured as a sole-source award to Keysight Technologies under FAR 13.106-1, the government will consider capability statements from alternative sources.

The procurement is not designated with any specific set-aside and will be awarded directly to Keysight Technologies (CAGE: 7ZXR5), located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The contract is rated under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) and requires delivery of all software licenses and support services between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025. While specific award values are not explicitly detailed, the procurement covers multiple software license lots with comprehensive support subscriptions. The place of performance is NSWC Crane in Indiana, and the contract is categorized under NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers) and PSC DA10 (IT and Telecom Business Application Software as a Service). Potential vendors should note that while the procurement appears targeted specifically to Keysight, the government maintains flexibility in its final vendor selection.
