About this opportunity
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), under the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research, has issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract to Elsyca Inc. for the development of advanced corrosion modeling software. This special notice, posted on December 2, 2025, represents NRL's determination that only one responsible source can satisfy the agency's specific technical requirements. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) with a small business size standard of up to $34 million, and falls under Federal Supply Code DA10 for IT and business application software development.
The objective of this contract is to develop multiphysics models that capture species transport and corrosivity changes in electrolytes within occluded spaces such as crevices, with the resulting executable libraries to be integrated into the A-CID software suite—a revised version of the Corrosion Informed Design software co-developed by NRL and NSWC-CD. The procurement will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13.106-1(b) for purchases not exceeding $250,000. Interested parties have until December 8, 2025, to submit responses demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Responders must reference Notice of Intent number N00173-25-Q-1301272221 and should note that the Government reserves sole discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on submitted capability information. No reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with submitting capability statements.
