About this opportunity
This notice seeks to renew a sole-source contract with Cadence Design Systems to provide maintenance for various PCIe IP software products. The Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory requires this support for its TCORE processor chip design. The software includes controllers, PHYs, and other IP already integrated into the design. Responses must show how competition would benefit future procurements. All inquiries must be submitted by July 26th.
There is no set-aside. The NAICS code is 511210 with a $41.5M size standard. The incumbent and anticipated sole-source awardee is Cadence Design Systems located in San Jose, California. Maintenance is required for multiple Cadence IP products from July 2022 through August 2022. The government will evaluate all responses but sole-source award is at its discretion.

The software being supported is a PCIe controller and physical interface for the TCORE processor chip being designed by AFRL/RITA. No other contractor has or could have knowledge of the inner workings of this proprietary product. The product is protected by intellectual property rights solely possessed by Cadence.
