Description
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for Red Hat software. The compliant material is available solely from Red Hat's reseller DLT Solutions, LLC through a DOD Electronics License Agreement. The NAICS code is 541519 and the business size is $34 million. The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to DLT. The proposed action is for Ansible Tower licenses, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The basis for restricting competition is for the following reasons: the ELA exists as a mandatory source for the DON. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to DLT Solutions using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 12:00 PM Noon 14 April 2026. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by 12:00 PM on 04/14/2026 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Inquiries should be directed to both Michael Bonaiuto at michael.j.bonaiuto.civ@us.navy.mil.
