Notice of IntentThe U.S. Coast Guard intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to ORCA3D, LLC for the delivery of the Orca3D Marine CFD Premium plug-in, a specialized software tool designed to enable naval architects within the Coast Guard’s Engineering Services Division to perform design and hydrodynamic analysis directly within the Rhino platform. The Government has determined that ORCA3D is the only responsible source capable of meeting this requirement, as no other commercial offering provides the same tailored capabilities necessary for mission-critical marine design work. This action is justified under RFO FAR 6.103-1 and statutory authority 10 USC 3204(a)(1), which permit non-competitive acquisition when only one source can satisfy the agency’s needs. The contract is classified under NAICS code 513210 with a small business size standard of $47 million and utilizes Product Service Code 7A21. The acquisition is not open to competitive bidding, and no formal solicitation will be issued; however, interested parties may submit evidence demonstrating that competition would be feasible, cost-effective, and not detrimental to mission objectives before the response deadline of August 1, 2026. All such submissions must clearly establish that alternatives exist and can meet the technical and operational requirements without delay or added risk. The Contracting Officer, Joshua Richardson, is the sole point of contact for inquiries, accepting communications only via email at joshua.c.richardson2@uscg.mil, while technical questions should be directed to Michael M. Nader. The work will be performed at Curtis Bay, Maryland, with no set-aside designation despite the listing indicating a Total Small Business Set-Aside, as the procurement is explicitly sole-source. The total estimated value is not disclosed, and no costs will be reimbursed for responses to this notice.
