Thermo-Calc Database

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for Thermo-Calc database access.  The compliant material is available solely from Thermo-Calc Software, Inc., as the required subscription can only be sold through Thermo-Calc.  The NAICS code is 541519 and the business size is $30 million.

The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to Thermo-Calc.  The proposed action is for Thermo-Calc Ultra High-Temperature Database, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii).  The basis for restricting competition is for the following reasons: Themro-Calc is the only source of the required items, with no compatible service on the market.  The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to Thermo-Calc Software, Inc. using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.

Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 11:59AM 01 January 2023.  This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals.  However, all responses received by 11:59AM on 01/31/2023 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice 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.

Inquiries should be directed to both Michael Bonaiuto at michael.bonaiuto@navy.mil.
