Rockwell Automation/Allen Bradley Mid-Range Toolkit software package

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source Purchase Order to Kendall Electric for ten Rockwell Automation/Allen Bradley Mid-Range Toolkit software packages, specifically model 9398C-TKITT21 AB Standard/MidrangePlus ToolkitS. The Navy intends to make this award prior to the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 under the authority of 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), which allows for sole source procurement when only one responsible source is capable of fulfilling the government's requirements. This procurement falls under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command and is classified under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) and PSC code 7H20 (IT and Telecom Platform Products). The notice explicitly states that it is not a request for competitive quotations, as the government plans to negotiate with only Kendall Electric as the authorized source.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the Navy's intent to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for other parties to demonstrate their capabilities if they believe they can fulfill the requirement. Interested parties must respond in writing via email to William.h.morton39.civ@us.navy.mil by the July 11, 2025 closing date. The government will consider all responses received prior to this deadline solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead of the planned sole source award. However, the final decision to maintain the sole source approach remains entirely at the government's discretion. The procurement is being conducted under FAR 13.106 authority, and any contractor responses should identify their interest and capability to provide the specified Rockwell Automation/Allen Bradley toolkit software packages.
