About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has published a Special Notice of Intent to Award a sole source purchase order for proprietary technology related to seawater corrosion prediction. The notice, posted on July 11, 2025, specifically identifies OLI Systems at 734 Louis Drive, Warminster, PA as the intended sole source contractor. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1000 employees and uses PSC 6695 for combination and miscellaneous instruments. This is explicitly not a request for competitive proposals or solicitation, and the agency states that only one responsible source can satisfy their requirements. The purchase will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13.106-1(b) for procurements not exceeding $250,000.
The primary objective is to acquire proprietary software technology capable of accurately predicting general and localized seawater corrosion, including crevice corrosion, for Navy vehicles and assets. NRL justifies the sole source approach by asserting that OLI Systems provides the only commercially available first-principles-based software with sufficient electrochemical depth, thermodynamic accuracy, and predictive reliability for Naval operational conditions. Interested parties have until July 14, 2025, to respond with clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Any responses must reference Notice of Intent number N0017325Q-1301250457 and demonstrate capability to meet the requirement. The Government retains sole discretion in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on received responses, and no reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with submitting capability information.

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) intends to award a sole source purchase order to:
734 Louis Drive, Warminster, PA 18974 USA
To furnish:
Proprietary technology to support the accurate prediction of general and localized seawater corrosion, including crevice corrosion for the fleet of Navy vehicles and assets. OLI Systems is the only commercially available first-principles-based software capable of delivering rigorous corrosion modeling for general, localized, and crevice corrosion in seawater environments. No competing software can match OLI’s level of electrochemical depth, thermodynamic accuracy, and predictive reliability across the wide range of conditions encountered in Naval operations.
The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) for this requirement is 334516 with the size standard of 1000. The Federal Supply Code (FSC) / Product Service Code (PSC) procurement is 6695.
This purchase will be made utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with:
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13.106-1(b) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000. Interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement in accordance with the posted opening and closing dates.
