About this opportunity
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, operating under Naval Sea Systems Command, is procuring VT MAK Technologies software licenses and maintenance services with quotations due June 17, 2026 (extended from June 10). This is a brand-name, sole-source procurement under FAR 6.103-1(d), justified on the basis that the software is currently installed and operational, with introduction of alternative manufacturer products causing excessive cost, delays, and potential program disruption.
Place of performance is Dahlgren, Virginia. The procurement covers four primary items: VR-Link Run-Time (1 unit) with 12-month automatic renewal maintenance, SensorFX (1 unit) with 12-month automatic renewal maintenance, and VR-Vantage (1 unit) with 12-month automatic renewal maintenance. The performance period runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Delivery is required within 30 calendar days of award, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. local time. The software is deployed as an embedded component of multiple programs to test, debug, develop, and certify systems and must support Initial Operational Capability and Ready for Training dates. No other product is certified for the required functions, and system decertification and redesign would be necessary to adopt alternatives. Market research confirmed MAK Technologies' products are the only compatible solution.
NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers); PSC code DA10 (IT and Telecom—Business Application/Application Development Software as a Service). Buy American applies unless the value exceeds applicable Trade Agreements thresholds. The contract incorporates standard FAR and DFARS clauses including commercial supplier agreements, data rights, and government assignment rights for software licenses. Inspection and acceptance occurs at NSWC Dahlgren. Contact Carla McKown at 540-500-9891 or carla.j.mckown.civ@us.navy.mil.
