About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for procuring Siemens NX CAD/CAM Software License Seats & Support for the 530, 533 CMMXS at Hill Air Force Base. The one-year firm fixed price contract is a follow-on to a previous contract (FA822722P0037), with an estimated value around $131,000. The justification for single-source procurement stems from the high cost of replacing the existing Siemens software (potentially up to $800K) and the lack of full GSA Advantage coverage, making Siemens the only viable vendor without incurring substantial duplicate costs.
The procurement is specifically for an annual software subscription supporting aircraft component repair and manufacturing. The document notes that barriers to full and open competition will persist due to the existing compatibility of Siemens software at Hill AFB, and unless the government decides to replace all Siemens software, they will need to continue purchasing Siemens-compatible products. The contracting activity is OL:H/PZIMC, and the purchase request identification number is Alexsys #14442.

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No
Contracting Activity: OL:H/PZIMC
Project/Program Name: Siemens NX CAD/CAM Software License Seats & Support
Purchase Request/Identification Number: Alexsys #14442
Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):
Follow on contract for FA822722P0037 Siemens NX CAD/CAM Procurement of software subscription package.
New firm fixed price (FFP) basic contract with one year period of performance. This is the maximum duration Siemens will provide renewal pricing.
This is for the procurement of an annual subscription for existing Siemens NX CAD/CAM software that is used to support the repair and manufacturing of aircraft components. The Contractor shall be required to provide an annual subscription of the NX CAD/CAM software for 530, 533 CMMXS at Hill Air Force Base (HAFB).
Estimated value:
Using a competing company would turn this into a complete software replacement which could cost upwards of $800K rather than ~$131k from Siemens. Unless the Government decides to replace all Siemens software, the Government will be required to continue purchasing Siemens compatible products.
A search from GSA resulted in only partial coverage/support. The OEM (Siemens) has offered only some elements of the software on GSA Advantage, resulting in the inability to purchase through GSA. Using a competing company would turn this into a complete software replacement. Accordingly, Siemens is the only vendor capable of providing the software described above without the U.S. Air Force experiencing substantial duplication of cost that could not be expected to be recovered through competition. This would be an unwarranted cost to the government.
Barriers to full and open competition will remain due to the compatibility of previously acquired Siemens Software at Hill AFB.
Unless the Government decides to replace all Siemens software, the Government will be required to continue purchasing Siemens compatible products.
