PRESOLICITATION NOTICE OF INTENT FOR A SOLE-SOURCE ACQUISITION

IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION (FAR) 8.405-6

This acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Multiple-Award Schedule Program (41 U.S.C. 152(3) and 40 U.S.C.

501) and in accordance with FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) - Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized.

Description:

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) intends to award a sole-source delivery order to Ansys Government

Initiative (AGI) under GSA contract: GS-35F-056DA for Ansys STK Enterprise Software. AGI is the sole provider for the

Ansys STK Enterprise software. FCC Satellite Division use this software to analyze non-geostationary satellites. These

NGSO systems are highly complex with up to 10,000 satellites per system and this software allows the FCC to import the technical characteristics for these systems directly from other databases.

This software is also the basis for treaty required analysis for these systems. The International Telecommunications

Union (ITU) is a part of the UN and the Radio Regulations treaty text (to which the US is a signatory) requires certain analyses before international registration can happen. This software enables the FCC to perform those analyses when needed. Without this analysis, the US satellite systems cannot be registered at the ITU.
