Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition - 70Z03826QM0000008.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 12.102(a).

The USCG Acquisition Logistics and Supply Chain Integration Directorate (ALC, ISD) is pursuing a sole-source acquisition for ArchiCAD licensed software subscriptions and support. The requirement covers both new purchases and existing upgrades for ArchiCAD licensing maintenance and subscription support. ArchiCAD is engineering design software used extensively throughout USCG for architectural design, technical planning, and site facilities handling. The software enables creation of complex design layouts and supports USCG-wide engineering worksheets for buildings, interiors, and planners. The justification identifies Graphisoft North America (located at 1601 Trapelo Road, Suite 162, Waltham, MA 02451; UEI: CQFKHNAHBKS3) as the only source reasonably available. Graphisoft is the exclusive vendor for ArchiCAD software and the only provider capable of delivering essential software updates, patches, technical support, and security features required to maintain USCG network operations and protect against security threats, including compliance with CJSC Alexandria standards. The contracting officer selected "Comparison with Similar Items in a Related Industry" as the fair and reasonable price determination method. The purchase request number is ISD-26-010. The estimated total value is redacted in the document.
