About this file
This document is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification for the acquisition of Cesium server licenses for a 705th Combat Training Squadron requirement. The software will provide a high-fidelity 3D geospatial data platform to support the squadron's Virtual Flags and warfighter exercises through environment generator Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) data integration. Cesium is the sole manufacturer of the required software, and market research found no current enterprise solutions that could meet the specific features and capabilities needed. The related federal contract opportunity, solicitation number FA489024Q0709R1, was not awarded competitively as Cesium was the only source for the brand name software. The contract was awarded to Cesium GS, Inc. for $79,351 on August 1, 2024.
