About this opportunity
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), under the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research, has published a Notice of Intent to Award a sole source purchase order to Carahsoft Technology Corp for Black Duck Software's Coverity product. This special notice, posted on December 15, 2025, with a due date of December 17, 2026, indicates the government's intention to procure software licensing without conducting a competitive bidding process. The NRL has determined that only one responsible source can satisfy its agency requirements for this particular software solution. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) and PSC code DA10 (IT and Telecom - Business Application/Application Development Software as a Service).
The purpose of this notice is to provide interested parties an opportunity to demonstrate that conducting a competitive procurement would be advantageous to the government. The NRL seeks to procure Coverity licenses for two applications: 275,000 units for Cryptographic Technology and 25,000 units for Cross Domain System, each on a 12-month term. Interested contractors must submit responses by the closing date demonstrating clear and convincing evidence of competition's benefits, with no guarantee of contract award based on such submissions. This procurement will be executed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures per FAR Part 13.106-1(b), with the total value expected to fall below the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000. Responses must reference Notice of Intent number N00173-26-Q-1301308160, and the government reserves the discretionary right to proceed with the sole source award or initiate competitive procurement based on responses received.
