Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Memorandum For File" serving as a justification for a non-competitive procurement. It outlines the rationale for soliciting from a single source for the acquisition of Siemens FEMAP/NASTRAN software.

This justification memo is relevant to potential bidders as it explains why the opportunity is being considered for non-competitive award. It details that the requirement is for Siemens FEMAP/NASTRAN software, which was competitively selected for the RDT&E network and is currently required for NSWCCD's model library. The memo states that alternative software would impose excessive burdens on the government in terms of cost and training. The basis for this determination is "Brand Name" and "Other Reasons," citing proprietary software and the significant cost and training impact of switching to an alternative. This indicates that vendors not offering Siemens FEMAP/NASTRAN may not be considered for this specific procurement.
