Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, specifically the Naval Sea Systems Command Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD), has awarded a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Resource Analysis Corporation (RAC) for Supportability Management Assessment Report Tool (SMART) license services. This award, made under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, supports obsolescence management at Port Hueneme CBC Base, CA.
Scope of Work
The contract provides access to the SMART license, which is essential for providing, updating, procuring, and maintaining obsolescence configuration information for material. The system integrates complex processes to manage Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) programs. Key features include a Workflow User Application with SCORE ranking, a Data Administration Application, and integration with various databases such as IHS Markit, SMART COTS Manufacturer Database, FEDMALL, and LogiQuest. SMART capabilities include determining material health, integrating dual part level obsolescence data, providing COTS vendor survey capabilities, and capturing alerts.
Contract & Timeline
- Contract Type: Single Firm-Fixed-Price contract.
- Awardee: Resource Analysis Corporation (RAC).
- Set-Aside: Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5).
- Rationale: The award was justified as sole-source because RAC is the exclusive developer and supplier of the uniquely designed SMART licensed domain, which meets specific government requirements. No other commercial product was found to meet the robust level 4 solution needed. Transitioning to an alternative tool was estimated to cost five times more and take approximately two years, with lesser capabilities. NSWC PHD has utilized SMART for over 10 years.
- Award Date: Published January 27, 2026.
- Place of Performance: Port Hueneme CBC Base, CA.
Additional Notes
NSWC PHD plans to continue market research to identify potential sources for similar supplies and services to broaden the vendor base for future requirements.
