About this file
This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition between $3,000 and $250,000, dated January 3, 2025, with PR number PRO0011756.
The J&A is for SolidWorks Software and License Service Renewal, which includes software maintenance, license services, installation, patching, technical support, and troubleshooting services for users and system administrators. The procurement is justified under exclusive licensing, as SolidWorks requires mandatory use of DoD ESI BPA with sole-source contract N6600121A0029 through July 14, 2029. A basic market survey was conducted but no alternative solutions were identified. The requirement is for the Department of the Navy, and the Technical/Requirements Originator has certified that only one source is reasonably available for this procurement.
