- Description
- Draft Source Justification and Approval The Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate, Rome NY intends to solicit and negotiate a sole source purchase order under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 with Cadence Design Systems, 2655 Seely Ave Bldg 5, San Jose CA 95134 for (QTY 1) eDA Gold Card 24/7 access to Cadence software library and tools for approximately 6 months. The software to be accessed allows the user to lay out integrated circuit designs. The primary tool assists in IC floor plan entry, places and routes the standard cells, and times the resulting IC design. The eDA Gold Card enables flexible term licenses, access to new software products, internet based access, 24 hour self-service, license generation, and high speed download The program office has developed a complex series of commands, applications, and customized tools to control the Cadence IC layout software based on the unique command structure of the product. At this time the engineers only have developed a command set to control the Cadence set of IC place and route tools and their flow supports only Cadence software for layout of IC design, making it the only suitable product for the current IC layout effort. The design flow and tools are interdependent; using another software product would require significant engineering manhours and cost to redevelop the series of commands, applications, and customized tools. Since Cadence IC layout software will be needed daily by Government personnel during this effort, procuring the eDA Gold Card is necessary to successfully complete multiple contracts and in-house tasks valued at several millions of dollars. Therefore, Cadence Design Systems software is the only know source at this time. Please note this Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive quotations. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the descretion of the government. However, information recieved by the response date of this notice will be considered by the government.
