About this file
This document is a limited/sole source justification for a modification to contract HC102822P0081 with Engineering Software Research & Development Inc. (ESRD). The Defense Information Systems Agency requires continued annual software support from ESRD for specialized fatigue and fracture analysis software utilized by F/A-18 engineering teams. The software is necessary to maintain airworthiness certification and operates on the Navy Marine Corps Intranet. Market research found ESRD is the only provider of this proprietary software compatible with existing Navy infrastructure. The total estimated price for the one-year software support modification is $1 million. As no equivalent alternatives exist, a sole source award to ESRD is justified to meet the government's needs.

ESRD Annual Software Support
Page 2 of 3 Pages million. The total estimated price for the proposed acquisition modification is
Specialized software is utilized by FRCSE air vehicle engineering teams and Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) F-18 production engineering to perform fatigue and fracture analysis and fastened/bonded joint analysis. The software is required to maintain capability to verify airworthiness of aircraft. For continued approval to operate the software on Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) network, software support/maintenance is required.
Market research conducted has found ESRD currently is the only provider for the required software that works with the current infrastructure. Market research will continue to see if any other companies can provide without additional cost/upgrades to the Navy.
5. Proposed Sole Source Contractor:
Engineering Software Research & Development Inc. (ESRD) 111 Westport Plaza, Suite 825 Saint Louis, Missouri 63146
6. Market Research: Market research was conducted , and included personal knowledge in procuring supplies/services of this type; contact with knowledgeable persons in Government and industry; review of recent market research results for similar or identical supplies/services; review of Government and/or commercial databases for relevant information; and review of existing DISA-wide and other Government-wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACS). Market research has revealed that the required software is only available through ESRD, the OEM.
Based on current market research, , it has been determined that only the aforementioned product support provided by ESRD, can fully support the Government’s need. This requirement is for proprietary products and/or maintenance support and no competitor functional replacement products exist in the market at this time to meet the Government's need. The Government will continue to conduct market research to determine if there are changes in the marketplace that would enable future competitive actions, i.e., there are similar products and/or product support in the marketplace that provides the same functionality, the original equipment manufacturer releases ownership rights of the product, or it is economically feasible to procure a new system.
Based on the justification provided by FRCSE, a determination has been made to issue a sole source bilateral modification to contract HC102822P0081 for ESRD software to ESRD for the above-described requirement.
