- Description
- This is a Notice of Proposed Contract Action under the FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This notice is for information only; a solicitation will not be issued. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 511210 with a small business size standard of $38.5 Million average annual receipts. AFRL requires Cadence Software Tool Suite for Integrated Circuit (IC) Layout software consisting of the following: Innovus Implementation System, Cadence Quantus QRC Extraction - XL, Tempus Timing Signoff Solution XL, Voltus IC Power Integrity Solution -XL, Genus Synthesis Solution. The Government intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Cadence Design Systems, 2655 Seely Ave Bldg 5, San Jose CA 95134. The Government has determined that no other source has commercial offerings that can meet this requirement. The Government has developed design scripts that are based on the software design and capabilities of Cadence software tools. Cadence software possesses a unique capability to run with the exisitng scripts, thus the only capable solution to license the software. No other contractor has software that runs with the Government's existing scripts used to control the software. As a result, the design scripts only function correctly with Cadence software tools. While there are other integrated circuit layout tools available on the market, given the development already completed by the program office, the estimated cost to develop new design scripts, including engineering man hours, would be a substantial duplication of cost that is not expected to be recovered through competition. This is a notice of proposed contract action and not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal, which shall be considered by the agency. All inquiries should be sent by email to Crystal.Whitney@us.af.mil. Responses must be submitted by the date/time listed on the notice. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements. Responses received will be evaluated; however a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government anticipates an award date on or before 13 August 2018. A Sole Source Justification will be attached to the subsequent Notice of Award in accordance with applicable regulation.
