Limiting Competition at or Below the SAT Template_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Memorandum for Record - Limiting Competition at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold for the Prototype Integration Facility (PIF) at the Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation and Missile Center (DEVCOM AVM C), Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. The requirement is for a one-year software license subscription to OpenAM Software, Part Number 155-55000, for one user, to support a Fortus 450MC 3D printer in the PIF Additive Manufacturing Lab.

Market research conducted through GSA Advantage, DOD-ESI, OpenAM Software, and the Army's Compute Hardware Enterprise Software System (CHESS) revealed no alternative vendors capable of meeting the specific requirement. The document justifies a sole source purchase based on the vendor being the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the 3D printer and associated software. The period of performance is from 30 September 2025 to 29 September 2026, with the desired award date of 30 September 2025. Funding will come from Operations & Maintenance, Army (OMA), and the contract will be a fixed-price sole source purchase order through a GSA BPA.
