2. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR BRAND NAME BASED ON

ACQUISITION

Mastercam is the standard CAM software package taught at Naval and USMC machinist schoolhouses. Navy and USMC machinists have hundreds of hours of experience using the software. In order to avoid a large cost and time commitment to retrain the machinists on a new software package, this procurement is looking to purchase an add-on for the Mastercam software suite.

Impact to Navy projects:

The brand name component is required in order to save cost and time to retrain maintenance depot users. The targeted user has spent hundreds if not thousands of hours learning and using the base Mastercam suite. This add-on is intended to be a seamless transition into the hybrid additive manufacturing realm. Users will need to learn the add-on, but the cost and time will be significantly less than learning an entirely different

CAM package along with its associated hybrid additive manufacturing components.

Pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)i) the circumstances of this requirement deem only one brand to be reasonably available.

3. MARKET SURVEY

Market Research was conducted by comparing available hybrid CAM packages used by industry.
