About this opportunity
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), part of the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research, has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a sole source purchase order to SYNOPSYS for a Quantum TSL Software License. This special notice, published on August 25, 2025, is not a competitive solicitation or request for proposals, but rather an announcement of the agency's intention to make a direct award to a single vendor. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) with a size standard of $34 million and will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13.106-1(b) for purchases not exceeding $250,000. The agency has determined that only one responsible source can satisfy their specific software licensing requirements.
The primary purpose of this notice is to provide an opportunity for other interested parties to demonstrate that competition would be advantageous to the government before the sole source award is finalized. Contractors have fifteen calendar days from the publication date (until August 29, 2025) to submit responses showing clear and convincing evidence of their capability to provide equivalent solutions. Any responses must be directed to Richard Key at richard.a.key2.civ@us.navy.mil with the Notice of Intent number referenced in correspondence. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with competitive procurement based on received responses, and no reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with submitting capability information. Contractors should note that this is specifically for quantum-related software licensing under the Application Development Software category (PSC 7A20).
