About this file
This document is a sole source justification for the Department of the Air Force to procure annual system maintenance from Stratasys, Inc. for two Stratasys Fortus 450 3D modelers and one Stratasys Objet500 3D printer. Stratasys is the original equipment manufacturer of the printers and is the only approved entity able to perform required maintenance as they possess the necessary data, parts, and expertise. While Stratasys has resellers that can service some products, none are approved to maintain the Fortus 450 or Objet500 printers. Market research confirmed Stratasys is the sole provider capable of fulfilling the maintenance requirement. The proposed sole source award would utilize price analysis to determine a fair and reasonable contract price for the commercial item acquisition. The period of performance would consist of a base year and four one-year options.
