About this opportunity
Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) in Portsmouth, Virginia has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to award a firm-fixed-price contract on a sole source basis to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for network license services. This notice, published by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command on February 17, 2026, is issued for informational purposes only and does not constitute a request for competitive proposals. The contract will be awarded under the statutory authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901, utilizing simplified procedures for certain commercial products and services as outlined in Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 13.5. NNSY intends to solicit and negotiate directly with ANSI as the sole source provider. The opportunity is classified under NAICS Code 513210 (Software Publishers) with a size standard of $47.0 million and PSC Code DG10 (IT and Telecom - Network as a Service).
Although this is a sole source award notice, the government has indicated that all responsible sources may submit written capability statements for consideration, provided they contain clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. The submission deadline for capability statements is February 20, 2026. Any interested parties should understand that the government will not pay for submitted information and will use such submissions only to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead. The final determination to proceed with sole source award or pursue competition remains solely within the government's discretion. No other bids or proposals from alternative manufacturers will be accepted, and ANSI will be the exclusive negotiating partner unless the government decides otherwise based on received capability statements.
