SSJ - ANSYS LAN - 2025_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for an ANSYS software license renewal for the Air Force Research Laboratory/Space Vehicles Directorate (AFRL/STO). The procurement includes 1 Ansys CFD Enterprise, 1 Ansys Discovery Modeling, 1 Ansys Electronics Premium HFSS, 6 Ansys HPC Pack, and 1 Ansys Zemax OpticStudio Pro, with a 12-month period of performance.

The justification indicates that these specific ANSYS software licenses are critical for unique Air Force research and development tasks, with in-house software code and computational tools that cannot be easily replicated. The document emphasizes that no alternative software can meet the government's requirements without substantial additional investment, and purchasing another brand would result in significant cost duplication. The contracting activity (AFRL/PZLET) will award this as a new firm fixed-price contract, and the agency will continue monitoring the marketplace for potential competitive alternatives in future acquisitions.
