About this file
This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source form from NASA Shared Services Center, recommending a sole source procurement from Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. for FY25 Siemens Simcenter Zona software. The procurement is for specialized technical software essential for developing and analyzing aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic models across various vehicle configurations, specifically supporting SLS, AATT, and X-59 projects using the ZAERO-III software with ASE and TRIM modules.
The document justifies the sole source procurement by emphasizing that no alternative software currently satisfies the specified requirements, and pursuing an alternate software service would be operationally cost and time prohibitive. The contract period is set for 07/25/2025 - 07/24/2026, with the technical user recommending direct negotiation with Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. due to the software's unique capabilities and critical compatibility with existing NASA infrastructure.

RECOMMENDATION AND DETERMINATION TO SOLICIT FROM ONE SOURCE
OR BRAND NAME
PICK ONE
Sole Source:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. only for FY25 Siemens Simcenter Zona. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 07/25/2025 - 07/24/2026.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☐I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from Manufacture Name for Product being purchased. The total estimated cost of this effort is $Dollar Amount and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is Date .
This recommendation is for the acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available from only one source/only one manufacture. Competition is impractical for the following reasons (please answer the questions below):
1. What are the reasons for soliciting only the suggested source/suggested brand name? Please provide the unique characteristics of the items or services along with the supporting rationale and the market research performed to substantiate your reason for the suggested source/brand name.
The technical software specified in this request is essential for the development and analysis of specialized aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic models across various vehicle configurations. These tools will support the SLS, AATT, and X-59 projects, leveraging the unique capabilities of the ZAERO-III software, including the ASE and TRIM modules.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Procurement of another brand would create implementation challenges for existing infrastructure and compatibility across the testing division. No alternative software currently satisfies the specified requirements. To pursue the evaluation or procurement of an alternate software service would be both operationally cost and time prohibitive.
