The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is seeking to renew maintenance for the Cadence software suite, which supports multiple product lines critical to its operations. The renewal will be procured as a sole source award to EMA Design Automation, Inc. of Rochester, New York, as no other provider can fulfill the agency’s specific requirements.

The maintenance agreement will cover several Cadence products, including Sigrity X Advanced SI, OrCAD Library Builder, Sigrity X Aurora PCB Analysis, and OrCAD X Capture. Coverage for these products spans from March 13, 2026, to March 13, 2027, with specified quantities for each product line. These renewals are essential to ensure continued support, updates, and functionality for the laboratory’s electronic design automation tools.
