STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

DMEA 26-6H2

16 October 2026

PE: Chris Gardner, DMEA/MEBB PE: Ken Nguyen, DMEA/MEAB

1.0 SCOPE: Altium licenses and software maintenance requires upgrading to maintain capability for DMEA Organic Engineering efforts

1.1 TITLE: Altium Enterprise Upgrade and License Renewal

1.2 APPLICABILITY: DMEA Engineering

1.3 BACKGROUND: DMEA uses Altium software to design and layout printed circuit boards (PCBs) for many Department of War (DoW) projects. Many of the features, files, settings, and other characteristics used in Altium for the creation of these PCBs are unique to Altium and cannot be modified by another PCB design software set.

Current DMEA Altium capabilities do not provide configuration management, version control, design software interoperability, and component life-cycle management features vital to military designs and sustainment cycles. To meet military requirements for PCB Technical Data Packages (TDP), DMEA needs to upgrade its existing suite of licenses to leverage the additional capabilities with Altium’s Enterprise software solutions.

1.4 PURPOSE: The purpose of this task is to install an on-premises Enterprise server, evaluate and validate the interoperability of the Enterprise solutions on DMEA’s networks and with other Engineering software applications, and upgrade DMEA’s suite of Altium license subscriptions to Altium Enterprise.

2.0 REFERENCED GOVERNMENT PROVIDED RESOURCES: None

3.0 REQUIREMENTS:

3.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:

3.1.1 RESERVED

3.2 PROGRAM MANAGEMENT: None

3.3 TASK REQUIREMENTS:

3.3.1 SOFTWARE and INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS: The contractor shall, in collaboration with DMEA Engineers and Information Technology (IT) experts, install an on-premises server capable of hosting Altium’s Enterprise solution. Target Completion Date for server installation, network interfacing, functional validation, and interoperability verification is no later than 31 March 2027; an earlier completion date is desired.

3.3.1.1 REQUIREMENT: The contractor shall upgrade DMEA’s 16 Altium licenses to Altium Enterprise for a period of 4 months, to align with the on-premises server estimated installation timeline and current performance period of December 13, 2026 through April 12, 2026. These upgraded licenses will be utilized by DMEA Engineers and IT to use to install, debug, test, and evaluate the on-premises server and all Altium features vital to DMEA Operations. The upgrade shall not interfere with the ongoing utilization of the existing Altium software and licenses by DMEA Engineers.

3.3.1.2 REQUIREMENT: The on-premises server shall be verified to provide an immutable, version controlled, configuration management repository for all native-Altium design files, and all other PCB layout files necessary to release a PCB TDP for PCB fabrication, assembly, and manufacturing.

3.3.1.3 REQUIREMENT: The contractor must establish a successful connection to DMEA’s high availability (HA) SQL database cluster endpoint and verify the data is available.

3.3.1.4 REQUIREMENT: The Altium Enterprise Server (AES) must manage and serve DMEA’s suite of Altium Designer Enterprise licenses to client workstations; DMEA currently has 16 Altium network licenses. The workstations must be able to successfully check out an enterprise license and verify the enterprise only features.

3.3.1.5 REQUIREMENT: The server must provide a central repository for all ECAD data, including components, templates, and design files. Given an engineer is using a connected Altium Designer client, when they create and save a new component, then the component must be successfully saved to the central Enterprise Data Repository.

3.3.1.6 REQUIREMENT: All project data and design files managed by the server must be configured successfully and stored on the designated HA file share network path.

3.3.1.7 REQUIREMENT: Interoperability with other DMEA engineering software shall be demonstrated at a minimum with Solidworks Professional. Other potential software interoperability demonstrations include Keysight ADS, CST Antenna Magus, and PCB Doctor; if interoperability is possible between Altium Enterprise and any of these software suites is possible, it should be demonstrated and validated.

3.3.2 OPTION REQUIREMENT – YEAR 1: Upon government validation and acceptance of the on-premises server solution and Enterprise capabilities, the contractor shall provide a one-year (4/13/2027 – 4/12/2028) renewed subscription for a total of twenty (20) Altium Enterprise licenses, inclusive of the original sixteen (16) licenses and four (4) additional. Alternative Enterprise licensing models may be proposed, provided DMEA has at least twenty

(20) seats to use simultaneously, the licenses can be shared amongst more than 20 DMEA users, and Enterprise subscription cost is comparable to cost of twenty (20) individual licenses.

3.3.3 OPTION REQUIREMENT – YEAR 2: The contractor shall provide one additional year (4/13/2028 – 4/12/2029) of Altium Enterprise subscription renewals for the suite of twenty (20) Altium Enterprise licenses.

3.3.4 OPTION REQUIREMENT – YEAR 3: The contractor shall provide one additional year (4/13/2029 – 4/12/2030) of Altium Enterprise subscription renewals for the suite of twenty (20) Altium Enterprise licenses.

3.4 PROGRAM SUMMARY: None
