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 EMA Design Automation, Inc., located in Rochester, New York. This Special Notice, posted on February 5, 2026, indicates that NRL has determined that only one responsible source can satisfy its requirements for the specified supplies and services. As such, this is not a competitive solicitation, and no solicitation package is available for distribution. The notice serves to inform the public of NRL's intent to proceed with a single-source award, and interested parties are advised that email requests for additional information will not be honored. The opportunity is classified under the IT and Telecom category, specifically for application development software with perpetual licensing.
The objective of this sole source purchase order is to renew the Cadence Software Suite maintenance contracts for the Naval Research Laboratory, effective March 13, 2026, through March 13, 2027. The contract encompasses multiple software maintenance line items, including Sigrity X Advanced SIM, OrCAD Library Builder, OrCAD X Capture (10 total units across two line items), OrCAD PCB Designer Professional with PSpice (2 units), Allegro X Designer Plus, and OrCAD X Professional and PSpice Designer products. The deadline for this notice is February 9, 2026, and it is important to note that this is a sole source award notice rather than a competitive opportunity, meaning only EMA Design Automation, Inc. is eligible to fulfill this contract. Interested parties have limited opportunity to file protests or provide alternative solutions, given the narrow window between the posting date and the deadline.
