About this opportunity
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), operating under the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research, published this Special Notice on March 10, 2026, regarding a sole source purchase order for software licensing. The notice announces NRL's intention to award a contract to Maintenance 1893 ERS Licensing of Centreville, Virginia for Parsons ACE Embedded Resource Scheduler (AceERS) software product seat licenses. This is not a competitive solicitation but rather a Notice of Intent to conduct a sole source procurement under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, as the government has determined that only one responsible source can satisfy the agency's requirements. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) with a PSC code of DA10, and the contract value will not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000.
Interested parties have three calendar days from the notice publication date (until March 13, 2026) to submit responses demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. The government will evaluate any responses solely to determine whether conducting a competitive procurement is warranted, and the decision to proceed with sole source procurement remains entirely within the government's discretion. No reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with submitting capability information. Interested contractors should reference Notice of Intent number N00173-26-Q-5606 in all correspondence and direct inquiries to Andrea Graves at andrea.l.graves6.civ@us.navy.mil. The justification for sole source status centers on Parsons Corporation's exclusive ownership of AceERS proprietary designs, development tools, and intellectual property acquired through its 2020 acquisition of Braxton Science & Technology Group, LLC, with only Parsons qualified to provide necessary troubleshooting, modifications, upgrades, and customer support.
