This is a Single Source Justification document for ANSYS software renewals at AFTC/PZIA Arnold AFB. The requirement is for ANSYS Software renewals for AEDC White Oak Site Tunnel 9, with a period of performance from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2024. The software package includes Ansys Mechanical Enterprise-Technical Enhancements and Customer Support (3 licenses), Ansys Discovery Modeling-TECS (3 licenses), Ansys HPC Pack-TECS (2 licenses), and Ansys Zemax Optic Studio premium (1 license), all with annual concurrent license types under license #342484.

The justification explains that Tunnel 9 has used ANSYS software for over 20 years and switching vendors would require significant retraining and reprogramming effort, estimated at over 8 man-months and $160K in labor costs. Software Information Resource Corp (SIRC), a certified WOSB, will be awarded the contract under FAR 19.1506(a). Market research included a Request for Quote posted on GSA eBuy and NASA SEWP from November 14-20, 2024, with no responses received. The contracting officer determined on December 5, 2024, that only a single source is reasonably available. The anticipated award value will not exceed $250,000.
