Sole Source to CHESAPEAKE TECHNOLOGY, INC. for SonarWiz Air gapped License Office Suite, as requested. See All Attachments.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division is awarding a sole source firm fixed price contract to Chesapeake Technology, Inc. for the SonarWiz Air gapped License Office Suite, consisting of a five-year license bundle for four users, with a quantity of one. This procurement is justified as sole source because the software is currently in use by the government and incompatible with any alternative systems; selecting another product would introduce unacceptable data compatibility issues that would jeopardize mission-critical operations. The software is not available through commercial distribution channels, and competition would not yield significant savings or benefit to the government. The contract is issued under solicitation number N61331-26-Q-JC15, with a posted date of June 4, 2026, and responses are due by June 8, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Central Time. The place of performance is Panama City Beach, Florida, with delivery required Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. local time, and no deliveries are accepted after 3:00 p.m. or on federal holidays. Trucks must gain base access before 2:30 p.m. The NAICS code is 513210, and although the solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside, the award is sole source due to the unique nature of the software. Payment will be made via Electronic Funds Transfer through the System for Award Management, with invoicing required through Wide Area Workflow; contractors must submit electronic notifications to both the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer Representative on the same day the invoice is filed in WAWF. The government retains inspection and acceptance authority under FAR clauses governing fixed-price supply and service inspections, and cybersecurity requirements are enforced through provisions including DFARS 252.204-7012 for safeguarding covered defense information and cyber incident reporting. Additional clauses cover prohibitions on improper payments, subcontractor reporting, government work product control, whistleblower rights, and compliance with Buy American and anti-trafficking statutes. The Contracting Officer, Jessica Clark, is the primary point of contact, and no Contracting Officer’s Representative is designated. All proposals must include the solicitation number in the email subject line and be sent to the specified Navy email address.
