$90,922.83

NX Teamcenter design, engineering, and manufacturing software license renewal. This software is used for conceptual design, integrated product design, 3D modeling, and physics simulation.

As part of market research, the requiring activity contacted the developer for more information about NX Teamcenter. The Senior Director of Contracts at Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. said on the attached letter dated 5 May 2015, that the [NX Teamcenter] software is proprietary to and copyrighted by Siemens Product Lifecycle Maintenance Software, Inc. (SPLMS). SPLMS provides all updates, patches, and or application changes.

Because the currently-installed software is proprietaryy, competition cannot be obtained. This Justification and Approval will be posted to FedBizOps to encourage other vendors to submit product literature for products that can meet the Government's need.

Industry will be encouraged to participate early in the acquisition process. Should a requirement of a similar nature emerge, a Request for Information will be posted to FedBizOps.
