About this file
This document is a Brand Name Justification (BNJ) form for a NASA contract to acquire Siemens Simcenter STARCCM+ software licenses. The justification is prepared under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines, specifically for a purchase under $25,000, which allows for a single-source procurement of a specific brand-name product. The solicitation is from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (NSSC), with the solicitation number 80NSSC25897356Q, indicating a direct acquisition of specialized software licenses from Siemens.
The document provides a formal mechanism for justifying the procurement of a specific brand-name product, noting that the Siemens Simcenter STARCCM+ licenses are unique or highly specialized and cannot be easily substituted with alternative products. The BNJ form allows the NASA Shared Services Center to proceed with a targeted purchase of these specific software licenses under streamlined acquisition procedures, bypassing standard competitive bidding requirements due to the specialized nature of the product.
