The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) intends to award a sole-source, firm fixed-price purchase order to Professional System Associates, Inc. (PMA) for CMPRO software. This action is based on FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), as PMA is the exclusive source for this required software, with no compatible alternatives available. The NSWCCD is utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures for this procurement. Interested parties can submit capability statements by 12:00 PM on December 29, 2025, though this is not a request for competitive proposals. The government will consider all responses to determine if a competitive procurement is feasible, but the decision remains at their discretion. Inquiries should be directed to Michael Bonaiuto at michael.j.bonaiuto.civ@us.navy.mil.
This government file, N0016726Q1029, outlines the requirements for CMPRO software, including standard product maintenance, Bronze Level product support, and an Inventory/Production Module, with options for two additional years. The contract details firm-fixed-price arrangements for all items. Inspection and acceptance for all items, including option years, will occur at Destination by NSWC CARDEROCK in Bethesda, MD, with Michael Bonaiuto as the receiver. Deliveries are requested by January 9th for 2026, 2027, and 2028, also to NSWC CARDEROCK. The document includes various FAR and DFARS clauses, particularly regarding electronic invoicing via Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) and detailed payment instructions. Key contacts for contract administration are Michael Bonaiuto (Contract Specialist) and Sydney McDonald-Johnson (PCO/ACO). The document emphasizes adherence to federal holidays, operational hours, and contractor responsibilities regarding changes and points of contact. It also includes numerous clauses covering topics such as safeguarding covered defense information, prohibition on certain telecommunications equipment, and various socio-economic programs.
The NSWCCD requires a sole-source justification for renewing its Configuration Management Professional (CMPRO) license and support from Professional Systems Associates, Inc. (PSA). This justification, under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, is based on the determination that only PSA can provide the required services due to proprietary rights and exclusive licensing agreements. Market research indicated that while other tools exist, CMPRO is already DADMS approved, has an active Cybersecurity Authority to Operate (ATO), and is integrated with existing systems, making alternative solutions significantly more expensive and complex due to customization needs and cybersecurity concerns. PSA is also the only entity capable of modifying the custom forms and screens developed for NSWCCD's unique change management requirements. The estimated price is based on GSA Schedule prices.
