JA SpatialAnalyzer 2026 Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a software maintenance procurement by the Air Force Test Center (AFTC/PZI) under the Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) at Holloman Air Force Base.

The acquisition procures annual software maintenance for four existing government-owned SpatialAnalyzer (SA) licenses essential to the 846th Test Squadron's Holloman High Speed Test Track (HHSTT) mission. Specifically, the contract covers Software Maintenance Agreements (SMAs) for three SpatialAnalyzer Professional licenses (Keys #3482, #5366, #5367) and one SpatialAnalyzer Ultimate license (Key #2327) from the sole manufacturer, New River Kinematics (doing business as Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, Inc.). The procurement consists of a one-year base period (April 2026 – March 2027) plus four one-year option periods, extending through March 31, 2031. The estimated contract cost is redacted. SpatialAnalyzer is the only software platform that seamlessly integrates the diverse metrology instruments used at the HHSTT for aligning high-speed test rails and rocket sleds to precise tolerances critical for mission success. Market research identified five alternatives but concluded that replacement is not feasible due to incompatibility with existing 846TS hardware, prohibitive switching costs (estimated at approximately redacted dollars including licenses and training with double the annual maintenance costs), sole-sourced competing products, and unacceptable operational risks. The contracting officer, BRETT MOORE NH03, determined on March 12, 2026, that only a single source is reasonably available under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), and the Government will conduct ongoing market surveillance to identify future alternatives and evaluate competition during system upgrades or new project requirements.
