SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
Marine Corps Installations East (MCIEAST) intends to procure two perpetual licenses of Mastercam computer-aided design/computer-aided machining (CAD/CAM) software, along with associated hardware and add-ons, on a sole source basis from Phillips Corporation. The requirement supports critical manufacturing and repair operations at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. The procurement is identified under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers).
According to the notice, Mastercam is the established standard for the Marine Corps' MOS 2161 Basic Machinist Schoolhouse and the required Program of Record software for the Advanced Integrated Mobile Machine Shop (AIMMS). The Government states that use of alternative software would require significant retraining, create interoperability issues with fielded equipment, and negatively affect mission readiness.
Market research cited in the notice indicates that CNC Software, LLC, the original equipment manufacturer of Mastercam, has designated Phillips Corporation as its exclusive sales partner for the U.S. Federal Government. As a result, the agency considers Phillips Corporation to be the only responsible source capable of providing the required new software licenses. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes; however, firms that believe they can meet the requirement may submit a written capability statement to the Contracting Officer by the stated deadline for consideration.
