This document is a Limited Sources/Sole Source Rationale for procuring Bentley Systems EasyPower software licenses and maintenance for the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The procurement seeks two brand name commercial off-the-shelf software licenses for design, analysis, and optimization of electrical systems in the Ogden, Utah datacenter, with a performance period from May 27, 2025 to May 26, 2026. Market research was conducted through multiple channels, including a Request for Information (RFI) via NASA's Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement and a General Services Administration (GSA) Request for Quotes, which resulted in multiple quotes from small businesses.

The document justifies a sole source procurement based on market research indicating that only Bentley Systems, Inc. can fully meet the government's needs, with no functional replacement products available. An email from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) confirmed they are the only authorized resellers for this product. DISA has determined the requirement will be solicited from only authorized Bentley Systems resellers, with ongoing market research to identify potential future competitive alternatives or changes that might enable broader procurement options.
