About this opportunity
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), under the Department of the Navy Office of Naval Research, has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a sole source purchase order to ANSYS Government Initiatives Inc. of Exton, Pennsylvania. This Special Notice, designated N0017326Q5304, was posted on December 2, 2025, with a closing date of December 5, 2025. The procurement involves software support and licenses for Systems Tool Kit (STK) products used for satellite and spacecraft mission analysis. NRL has determined that only ANSYS Government Initiatives Inc. can satisfactorily meet the agency's requirements, and no other responsible source or alternative supplies will suffice. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) and will be executed as a simplified acquisition under $250,000.
The objective of this procurement is to obtain four line items of STK-related software support and licenses, including STK Premium (Space) for advanced orbit trajectory design and maneuver planning, STK SOLIS for satellite subsystems modeling and simulation, and the Orbit Determination Tool Kit for processing tracking data and generating orbit ephemeris. While this is a sole source award notice rather than a competitive solicitation, interested parties may submit clear and convincing evidence by the December 5, 2025 deadline demonstrating why competition would be advantageous to the government; however, NRL retains sole discretion over the final determination. The procurement falls under the large business size standard and utilizes Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-1(b). Only ANSYS Government Initiatives Inc. is eligible to fulfill this requirement, as it is the sole source identified by NRL to provide the specialized STK software support and licenses needed for the agency's space operations and satellite mission planning activities.
