RAC SMART Renewal

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) is seeking a sole source procurement for a 12-month subscription to the Supportability Management Assessment Report Tool (SMART) license from Resource Analysis Corporation (RAC). The SMART application is critical for obsolescence tracking and management within the Submarine ESM support measures project. This pre-solicitation notice indicates the agency has been utilizing the SMART application for nearly two decades to manage system supportability and track end-of-life dates established by project sponsors. The opportunity is classified under NAICS category 541519 for Other Computer Related Services and PSC category 7-P for Information Technology and Telecommunications. The pre-solicitation was posted on December 16, 2024, with a response deadline of December 17, 2024, suggesting a very tight timeline for potential contractors.

The contract does not have a specific set-aside designation, indicating it is open to standard competitive bidding procedures. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests Resource Analysis Corporation is the preferred and potentially only qualified vendor for this specialized software license. While specific award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the 12-month subscription implies a fixed-term contract focused on maintaining continuous access to the SMART application. The procurement is specifically tailored to support the Navy's ongoing obsolescence management efforts in submarine electronic support measures systems. The rapid turnaround between posting and response deadlines suggests this is a time-sensitive procurement with immediate operational requirements for the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command.
