Markforged Software Renewal

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD), under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, intends to procure a one-year hardware and software maintenance agreement for Markforged additive manufacturing equipment. This procurement is classified under PSC DA10 (IT and Telecom - Business Application/Application Development Software as a Service) and NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers). The Government has identified Hawk Ridge Systems of Mountain View, California as the sole source capable of fulfilling the Navy's requirements under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 13.106. Although this is a pre-solicitation notice indicating intent for sole source award, the Government will consider all information received from interested parties prior to the closing date of November 5, 2025, to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted instead. Responses should be submitted in writing via email to Karen Morris, and the Government reserves the right to either proceed with the sole source award or conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received.

This procurement involves no set-aside designation and represents a continuation or renewal of services currently provided by incumbent contractor Hawk Ridge Systems. The award is expected prior to the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. No specific budget range or contract value is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The one-year maintenance agreement covers both hardware and software support for the Markforged additive manufacturing equipment, with the scope limited to sustaining current operations rather than new equipment procurement. Interested parties responding to this notice should clearly articulate their capability and experience in providing equivalent maintenance and support services for Markforged additive manufacturing systems to be considered as alternative sources during the Government's evaluation process.
