FY26 CAMEO - Sole Source Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification for a Simplified Acquisition documenting the rationale for a sole-source contract award to PivotPoint for Cameo FY26 Training services. The contracting activity is ACC-PKJ, AMMIC, and the project is titled CAMEO FY26 Training. The estimated contract cost is redacted from the document.

The Government seeks official training services for Cameo Systems Modeler, a tool mandated for complex systems engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) efforts. The training is critical to support Government operations in aerospace, defense, and engineering sectors, and will cover specialized topics including system validation, traceability, requirements management, integration with other systems engineering tools, and advanced simulation features. The Government conducted market research evaluating training vendors including Atego, Sparx Systems, and Dassault Systèmes but determined that PivotPoint is the only vendor authorized and certified by No Magic, Inc.—the exclusive developer of Cameo Systems Modeler—capable of delivering tailored, tool-specific training addressing the proprietary features and Government mission requirements. The justification cites FAR 8.405-3(a)(1)(i) as the regulatory basis for the sole-source award. The Government acknowledges that while it will monitor the training landscape and explore expanding the pool of qualified providers, No Magic, Inc. remains the sole certifying entity, making competition unlikely in the foreseeable future. The document was prepared in April 2021 and indicates this is not a Bridge Action.
