The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) requires Pointwise software and related support services, which are available exclusively from Cadence Design Systems, Inc.

The purchase will be conducted as a firm fixed-price order under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, aligned with NAICS code 513210, and the business size is estimated at $47 million. This solicitation, identified by number N0016726Q1081, is not a request for competitive proposals but invites interested parties to submit capabilities statements by noon on May 1, 2026. These responses will be reviewed solely to determine whether a competitive procurement is warranted, although the government retains full discretion over this decision. All inquiries should be directed to Michael J. Bonaiuto of NSWCCD. The primary place of business is Bethesda, Maryland, and the action is managed by the Department of Defense through the NSWCCD.
