Quick Summary
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) is soliciting quotations for RSMeans Software Maintenance (Part number 66150P) for software manufactured by Gordian Group Incorporated. This is an Unrestricted acquisition, and award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis. Quotations are due by February 23, 2026, but bidders should confirm the exact due date due to conflicting information in Amendment 0002.
Purpose & Scope
This combined synopsis/solicitation (N0017826Q6652) seeks to procure software maintenance for existing RSMeans Full Library software licenses. The NSWCDD intends to award on a sole source basis, citing the software's exclusivity to Gordian Group Incorporated. However, the solicitation requests proposals from all responsible offerors. The required software maintenance is currently in use, and introducing other manufacturers' software would require extensive time for selection, training, and approval. Materials must be TAA compliant. The place of performance is Dahlgren, VA.
