Sole Source Bentley StaadPro Software at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard

Purchase Agency: Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS&IMF)
Reason for Purchase: PSNS&IMF requires the renewal of their software support for the Bentley STAAD.Pro software, which is a standard analysis tool for cranes across all Naval Shipyards. The support is necessary to stay current with software upgrades and switching the software now would impact project completion dates and make the design work non-compatible for transfer between shipyards.
Work to be Acquired: The procurement is for the Sole Source Bentley StaadPro Software Support Renewal.
Timeframe of Acquisition: The period of performance is from 08 May 2022 to 07 May 2023, with a required delivery date of 07 May 2022.
Place of Performance/Delivery: The place of performance/delivery is Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility.
Notable Information: PSNS&IMF has been using Bentley software licenses and support since 2011 and has already invested over $90,000 in software renewals. Bentley owns all proprietary rights to this software, and based on current market research, no competitor functional replacement products exist in the market at this time to meet the government's needs. The government will continue to conduct market research to determine if there are changes in the marketplace that would enable future competitive actions.
