NSWCCD Sysweld Software Renewals

Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Memorandum For File" serving as a Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memo for Actions Under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). It outlines the rationale for soliciting a single source for the renewal of SYSWELD software licenses, maintenance, and support.

This document indicates that the upcoming procurement for SYSWELD software renewal will be conducted on a sole-source basis. Potential bidders should note that this justification is based on the software being exclusively available from Keysight Technologies Inc., with no authorized resellers. The justification cites potential duplication of costs and unacceptable delays if competition were pursued. The requirement is for a 5-year renewal (base year plus four one-year options) for a single-seat, floating network license across an 8 Core/2 Job solver configuration. The estimated base year cost and total contract value (including options) are redacted. The delivery date requirement for each year is March 15th annually. The software is needed for weld process optimization and continuity of ongoing projects, as well as interoperability with other Navy facilities.
