Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, ACC-RSA, has issued a Special Notice for a sole source requirement for Cameo Enterprise Architecture-Enterprise Edition (Nodelock) software licenses. This procurement is for essential services in a classified environment, supporting Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) efforts and enforcing the SysML language.

Evaluation
This is a justification for limiting competition, not a request for competitive quotes. However, the agency will consider capability statements, proposals, or quotations from all responsible sources. Market research indicated no suitable alternatives or Enterprise License Agreements (ELA) through DoD ESI. Transitioning from the currently used Cameo software was deemed to have significant cost and schedule implications.

No solicitation documents exist at this time. ACC-RSA will not be responsible for costs incurred by interested parties responding to this notice. Phone calls will not be accepted.
