Polyworks 2026 Brand Name JA_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a software maintenance renewal procurement by the 846th Test Squadron.

The procurement seeks commercial software maintenance renewals for six existing PolyWorks Inspector licenses, consisting of a 12-month base period and four optional 12-month renewals, for an estimated total contract value that is redacted. The 846th Test Squadron requires PolyWorks Inspector Premium software as the only product capable of meeting the Government's needs because it serves as a central hub for the squadron's metrology data workflows and integrates seamlessly with existing government-owned software and hardware systems. PolyWorks Inspector Premium functions as a standardized platform that ensures data consistency across inspection systems and is critical for validating measured components for Department of Defense customers. The software provides essential non-negotiable features including the ability to communicate directly with both the Spatial Analyzer and Renishaw inspection systems, eliminating data transfer gaps and preventing operational disruption.

The justification documents market research efforts that evaluated alternative software platforms including PC-DMIS, CAM2, Verisurf, CALYPSO, BuildIT, and Spatial Analyzer, concluding that none met the Government's essential needs due to hardware dependencies, proprietary system design limitations, or inability to integrate with existing metrology equipment. The document commits the 846th Test Squadron to fostering future competition through proactive assessment of evolving metrology software alternatives, including potential technical demonstrations by competing vendors. The contracting officer determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that single source procurement is reasonably available under the circumstances.
