This document is a Brand Name Justification for the renewal of annual maintenance and support for a suite of existing ANSYS software licenses. The software is critical for providing structural integrity and fatigue life analysis for the landing gear of numerous military aircraft. The government is procuring these renewals because ANSYS software is essential for current engineering methods, and transitioning to another platform would be cost-prohibitive, risk data loss, and cause unacceptable mission impact due to training and validation requirements.

• Annual maintenance renewal for 6 licenses of ANSYS Mechanical Enterprise-TECS (Mfr P/N: LIC0000539).

• Annual maintenance renewal for 12 licenses of ANSYS HPC Pack-TECS (Mfr P/N: LIC0004123).

• Annual maintenance renewal for 6 licenses of ANSYS Geometry Interface for Solidworks-TECS (Mfr P/N: LIC0000803).

• Annual maintenance renewal for 6 licenses of ANSYS Discovery Modeling-TECS (Mfr P/N: LIC0048734).

This document is a justification for a brand name acquisition, not a solicitation with submission instructions or evaluation criteria. It outlines the rationale for procuring ANSYS software specifically.

Not applicable, as this is a brand name justification.

• The justification highlights that ANSYS has been utilized since 2019 and is deeply embedded in standard engineering methods.
• Market research was conducted to identify potential sources, including internet research and SAM.gov searches.
• Steps are outlined to preclude future brand name awards through continuous market research and monitoring of emerging technologies.
