About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command, specifically Commander Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC) at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, issued a Special Notice on January 7, 2026, regarding the procurement of VMware Software Licenses. The notice announces the agency's intent to award a purchase order to Carahsoft Technology Corp. on a sole-source basis for software licensing, upgrades, and maintenance. This procurement falls under the Software Publishers category (NAICS 513210) and is classified as IT and Telecom Business Application Software. The agency justified the sole-source award under Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 13.106-1(b)(i), citing that only one source is reasonably available to meet requirements. The opportunity is posted on the Federal Acquisition Opportunity portal with a deadline of January 14, 2026.
The procurement requirement encompasses VMware Software Licensing, including all software releases, revisions, and patches for both the Industrial Manufacturing System (IMS) and Structural Mechanical Analysis (SMAL) Labs at Fleet Readiness Center Southwest, located at NAS North Island. Carahsoft Technology Corp. holds the exclusive authority to supply this software under the Department of Defense Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract N66001-24-A-0034, making it the designated sole-source vendor for this requirement. The contract will provide 216 licenses for the IMS Lab and 128 licenses for the SMAL Lab, with a base year and three one-year option periods extending from January 15, 2026 to May 31, 2029. Delivery is directed to Naval Base Coronado in San Diego, California, and vendors must maintain Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 1 compliance. While the solicitation document indicates a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside, the Special Notice reflects the government's predetermined intention to award exclusively to Carahsoft due to their existing BPA authorization.
