This is a Micro-Purchase Threshold (MPT) Justification document for the U.S. Army Contracting Command at Rock Island Arsenal. The document details a follow-on requirement for an Autodesk AutoCAD 2026 Software Subscription, covering 10 seats with IMAGINIT Priority Support for 10 seats. The contract will have three performance periods: Base PoP from 30 September 2025 - 29 September 2026, Option 1 from 30 September 2026 - 29 September 2027, and Option 2 from 30 September 2027 - 29 September 2028. The procurement is justified under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines, with the Army citing that AutoCAD is a critical software for engineering drawings and is the only viable solution that meets their specific technical requirements, particularly for the engineering department's drawing and project needs.

The document indicates this is a fixed-price procurement using Operations & Maintenance Army funds for fiscal year 2025. Market research was conducted by the Army's contracting team, which determined that the proposed vendor is the sole contract/agreement provider under Department of Defense Enterprise Software Initiative. The action is classified as a brand name restriction over $30,000, which will be redacted and posted with the solicitation. The justification emphasizes that switching software would result in unacceptable downtime and potentially hamper mission readiness by disrupting ongoing engineering projects.
