Intent to Sole Source

The U.S. Navy’s Fleet Readiness Center East in Cherry Point, North Carolina, intends to award a sole-source purchase order to NLign Analytics, Inc. for the renewal of its proprietary NLign Software, as the company is the original equipment manufacturer and the only source capable of fulfilling this requirement. This action is justified under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.103-1(b), which permits noncompetitive procurement when only one responsible source exists and no alternative products or services can meet the agency’s needs. The contract is being handled by the Commander, Fleet Readiness Centers Procurement Group based in Patuxent River, Maryland, and is identified under solicitation number N6852026P1047 with a NAICS code of 513210 for software publishing. This notice of intent is not a solicitation for competitive bids but provides an opportunity for other potentially responsible sources to submit a capability statement within three calendar days of the posting date, which is July 14, 2026, with a deadline of July 17, 2026. Any submissions received will be evaluated solely to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted, though the government retains full discretion to proceed with the sole-source award regardless of responses. The primary point of contact for all inquiries is Jenna Lang of the Naval Aviation Systems Command, reachable via email at jenna.l.lang2.civ@us.navy.mil. The place of performance is Cherry Point, North Carolina, and the contract is classified as a presolicitation with no set-aside designation.
