About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source purchase order to PTC Inc. for specific Apex Ada software licenses and support. The notice pertains to software critical for the MH-60RS Mission Software Fleet Support Team (MSFST), specifically requiring PTC Apex Ada v4.4 for Solaris/SPARC and PTC Apex Ada v5.0 for Linux/Intel targeting LynxOS/PowerPC. The procurement is being conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which allows for sole-source acquisition when only one source is reasonably available. PTC is deemed the exclusive provider capable of satisfying the government's specific software requirements, as they are the original developer of the Apex Ada compiler necessary for compiling the MH-60RS Airborne Operational Program (AOP) software. The sole-source justification is primarily based on PTC's unique technical capabilities and the critical nature of the software for maintaining the MH-60RS maintenance cycle.
The Special Notice provides an opportunity for other responsible sources to submit capability statements within two calendar days of the notice's publication, though the government retains full discretion on whether to pursue competitive procurement. The procurement includes one license of PTC Apex Ada V4.4 for Solaris/SPARC and five licenses of PTC Apex Ada v5.0 for Linux/Intel, with a one-year annual software support requirement. Contractors interested in responding must demonstrate their capability to meet the specific technical requirements, though the notice explicitly states this is not a request for competitive quotes. The point of contact for this requirement is Sean Quigley, who can be reached at sean.s.quigley.civ@us.navy.mil. Potential respondents should note that the government's primary goal is to ensure uninterrupted support for the MH-60RS software system, and any capability statements will be evaluated solely to determine potential competitive procurement options. The solicitation is categorized under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) and PSC code DA10 (IT and Telecom - Business Application Software as a Service).
Notice text
The Commander Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC) Procurement Group, Patuxent River, MD 20670 hereby gives notice of their intent to award a purchase order to PTC Inc., 121 Seaport BLVD Boston, Massachusetts 02210-2050 (Cage Code: 0K0D7) on a sole source basis in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), only one source reasonably available and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
The Commander Fleet Readiness Center (COMFRC) Southwest has a requirement for the MH60RS software support stand-up Mission Software Fleet Support Team (MSFST) and has been tasked to procure and maintain software. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Lockheed Martin, is currently using the software. PTC Apex Ada v4.4 for Solaris/SPARC and PTC Apex Ada v5.0 for Linux/Intel targeting LynxOS / PowerPC are currently being used for the older and newer releases of the MH60RS software. The Apex Ada v4.4 and v5.0 needs to be procured with 1 year of annual software support, with keys provided for each version broken out as below.
PTC, Inc. is the only known qualified source capable of satisfying the Government's specific requirements and mission for this procurement. The developer of the PTC Apex Ada v4.4 and PTC Apex Ada v5.0 software does not utilize third party vendors to perform software upgrade and maintenance. It is imperative that we obtain this software from this sole source vendor (PTC). PTC Apex Ada Developer is the only compiler that can compile the MH60RS Airborne Operational Program (AOP) software. Any inability to procure this software would cause an unacceptable delay in the MH-60RS maintenance cycle. For this reason, the Government intends to procure these products on a sole source basis from PTC, Inc. (CAGE Code: 0K0D7).
- CLIN 0001: 1 quantity of PTC Apex Ada V4.4 for Solaris/SPARC
- CLIN 0002: 5 quantities of PTC Apex Ada v5.0 for Linux/Intel targeting LynxOS / PowerPC
THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which, if received within two (2) calendar days after the date of the publication of this synopsis, will be considered. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses received as a result of this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
Point of contact for this requirement is Sean Quigley at sean.s.quigley.civ@us.navy.mil
