NSWC-PCD SolidWorks License renewal 26-27

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division, awarded a firm fixed-price delivery order under the Naval Information Warfare Center, Pacific Blanket Purchase Agreement N6600121A0029 to Lyme Computer Systems, Inc., a HubZone small business, for the renewal of SolidWorks software licenses. This acquisition was conducted on a limited-source basis under FAR 8.405-6(b) and DFARS 208.7402, citing the necessity of maintaining compatibility with existing engineering workflows, proprietary data formats, and a decade-long institutional reliance on SolidWorks as the sole software capable of supporting critical design and simulation tasks for platforms such as the Landing Craft Air Cushion. The delivery order supports over 100 software licenses across multiple product variants, including Professional, Premium, Simulation, Electrical Schematic, Flow Simulation, and Composer, all issued as one-year renewals. The procurement is classified as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, with Lyme Computer Systems, Inc. confirmed as a HubZone small business concern. The place of performance is at the NSWC PCD facility in Panama City Beach, Florida, with all deliverables consisting of software license renewals delivered electronically. The contract is funded through Navy Working Capital Funds and operates under the DoD Enterprise Software Initiative as a mandatory source. No pricing details, unit costs, or total contract value are provided in the documentation, and the award was based on a lowest price technically acceptable rationale without competitive evaluation, trade-off analysis, or proposals submitted. The acquisition includes options for increasing license quantities during the 12-month ordering window but lacks detailed invoicing instructions, payment office information, COTR/COR designations, packaging requirements, or formal inspection criteria beyond compliance with software compatibility and procurement regulations. All representations and certifications are derived from the Justification and Approval document, including affirmative HubZone status obligations and public notice requirements under the Government Point of Entry.
