ISSUE DATE 28 JAN 2019 - CLOSING DATE 05 FEB 2019 - 10:00 AM Eastern Time

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for:

Subscription Developer License
With 4 Option Years

The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, RTI, Sunnyvale, CA., under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(B). This is being sole sourced because RTI Connext DDS was, and still is, used in the development of the SEWIP Block 2 software. This specific tool is required to make modifications to the software since other potentially similar tools are completely incompatible with the code. Changing to a different tool is also impossible because of incompatibilities with external systems such as AEGIS. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

Contractors must be properly registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Offerors may obtain information on SAM registration and annual confirmation requirements by calling 866-606-8220 or via the internet at https://sam.gov.

This solicitation is being issued pursuant to the procedures at FAR Part 13. Synopsis exception FAR 5.202(a)(13) applies and Solicitation Number N00164-19-Q-0088 is hereby issued as an attachment hereto. All changes to the requirement that occur prior to the closing date will be posted via FedBizOpps. It is the responsibility of interested vendors to monitor the FedBizOpps site for amendments that may be issued to this solicitation. For changes made after the closing date, only those offerors that provide a proposal will be provided any changes/amendments and considered for future discussions and/or award. Offers may be e-mailed to julie.dorsey@navy.mil. All required information must be received on or before 05 FEB 2019 - 10:00 AM EASTERN TIME.
