The installation is expected to be completed within one week following the contract award, with training conducted online. The contract reflects the government's commitment to maintaining effective project management tools within the Naval surface warfare engineering community.
    The memorandum outlines the justification for a sole source acquisition of SolidWorks PDM Professional software by the NSWCCD, under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). According to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), contracts not exceeding the SAT can be awarded to a single source if deemed necessary. The need for this specific software arises from its unique capabilities in managing CAD projects, which align with the organization's requirements for ship and submarine design developments. The manufacturer, Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corporation, is recognized as the sole provider due to proprietary rights and exclusive licensing arrangements. The justification also indicates that while training services might be available from authorized resellers, the required expert installation and configuration are critical for operational effectiveness. The document concludes with certifications from responsible officials, endorsing the use of non-competitive procurement for this acquisition. Overall, the memorandum demonstrates adherence to regulatory standards while addressing specialized software needs essential for engineering functions.
    The document is an amendment to a solicitation by the NSWC Carderock Division regarding the procurement of SolidWorks PDM Professional software. The main purpose is to address industry questions and extend the solicitation's due date to April 28, 2025. Key details include the required installation and training services for the software, with specific mention of needing 22 licenses for PDM Professional and configuration for version control of CAD models. Responses to industry inquiries clarify expectations around installation services, training requirements for up to 30 users, and the need for a secure installation that allows differentiated access controls. The contractor will also offer 10 hours of post-implementation support, and all services must be completed within six weeks of the contract award. The government's furnished equipment includes computers and software licenses necessary for installation, and the project is outlined to occur at a specified location in Virginia Beach, VA, emphasizing compliance with security protocols for unclassified and controlled unclassified information. Overall, this document lays out the expectations for contractor deliverables and timelines to enhance CAD model management capabilities within the division.
