About this file
This document is a Justification for Restricted Competition, Sole Source procurement for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The agency seeks to renew annual maintenance for SAP2000 and CSiBridge software from Computers and Structures Inc. (CSi) for $19,000, to be expended over one year. The software is a finite element program that performs static or dynamic, linear, or nonlinear analysis of structural systems, specifically designed for bridge engineering applications, and can define complex bridge geometries, boundary conditions, and load cases following AASHTO, ACI, and AISC building codes.
The procurement is justified as CSi is the only authorized distributor capable of providing technical assistance and software upgrades. The software is uniquely positioned as the only solution that can perform finite element calculations using the load factor design method and is compatible with ongoing projects across three Federal Lands divisions. The contract authority is established under 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR 12.201-1 Simplified Procedures, with the purchase to be made by the Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division (EFLHD) located in Ashburn, Virginia.

SOLE SOURCE
1. Name and Location of the organization making the purchase:
Federal Highway Administration 22001 Loudoun County Parkway Building E2, Suite 200 Ashburn, VA 20147
2. Description of supplies and/or services being procured:
SAP2000 is finite element program that performs static or dynamic, linear, or nonlinear analysis of structural systems. The software also designs structures following AASHTO specifications, ACI and AISC building codes.
The product can easily define complex bridge geometries, boundary conditions and load cases.
The bridge models are defined parametrically, using terms that are familiar to bridge engineers such as layout lines, spans, bearings, abutments, bents, hinges, and posttensioning. The software creates spine, shell or solid object models that update automatically as the bridge definition parameters are changed.
Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division (EFLHD) requires annual maintenance renewal of CSiBridge/SAP2000. The total estimated amount of this action is $19,000, to be expended over a one-year period of performance.
Name and Contact Information of Required Source:

3. Rationale:
CSi Inc. is an authorized distributor of the SAP2000 and CSiBridge software and is the only company that can provide technical assistance and software upgrades and maintenance.
The SAP2000 and CSiBridge software is the only software that can satisfy the Office of
Federal Lands need for software that can performs finite element calculations in accordance with the load factor design method and is compatible with ongoing projects at the three Federal Lands divisions.
