About this opportunity
Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is seeking to procure Magics software renewals through a sole-source acquisition under simplified acquisition procedures. The procurement covers a single-seat, floating network license for Materialise's Magics software, including specific modules (Magics RP, SG+ module, SLICE module, and Build Proc SLM) used for additive manufacturing research, development, testing, and evaluation across Maritime Industrial Base programs. This is a brand name only solicitation with a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation approach, requiring quotes to include proof of authorized distributor status. The contract structure includes a base year with four one-year option periods, providing maintenance and support for naval engineering efforts focused on reducing schedule and cost impacts. Interested parties must submit quotes by September 10, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST, though those offering equal alternatives may submit capabilities statements by the same deadline.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and operates under NAICS code 513210 with a business size standard of $47 million. The solicitation targets Materialise USA, LLC as the exclusive developer and distributor of the proprietary Magics software, making this a non-competitive procurement justified by the company's proprietary rights and the critical need for continuity with existing additive manufacturing models. The contract spans from 2027 to 2031, with each period providing 12 months of software maintenance and support, and requires digital download delivery within 15 days of contract award. Performance will take place in Westlake, Maryland, supporting various naval research and acquisition program offices focused on welding, fabrication, and nondestructive testing for submarine and surface ship structures. The specific contract value has been redacted from the available documentation, though the procurement is planned for Fiscal Year 2026.
