Interested vendors are encouraged to submit quotes and capabilities statements by June 23, 2025, by 11:00 AM EDT.

    SSJ_Redacted.pdf
    The NSWCCD SAP Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memo outlines the rationale for selecting Tecplot, Inc. as the sole source for plotting and visualization software essential for marine propulsor design and analysis. The document cites regulations under FAR 13.106-1 and FAR 8.405-6 permitting non-competitive procurement when only one vendor is available. Tecplot 360, a specific software for engineering data visualization, is required to ensure compatibility with existing proprietary tools developed for fluid systems analysis. No competing products were found that could handle Tecplot layout files, and the software's unique capabilities necessitate direct acquisition from Tecplot due to proprietary rights and exclusive licensing agreements. The memo details the need for nine maintenance renewals for the software, which support mission requirements. The justification asserts that the integration with custom software and the absence of any feasible alternatives necessitate processing this requirement as a sole source, complying with government procurement guidelines.
