SSJ NX CAD CAM Signed Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a federal contract opportunity with the U.S. Air Force.

The procurement seeks an annual subscription for Siemens NX CAD/CAM software licenses and support at Hill Air Force Base (HAFB). The contracting activity is OL:H/PZIMC, and the purchase request identification number is Alexsys #16290. The contract will be structured as a new firm fixed price (FFP) basic contract with a one-year period of performance, representing the maximum duration Siemens will provide renewal pricing. The software subscription is required to support the repair and manufacturing of aircraft components, specifically providing NX CAD/CAM software for 530 and 533 CMMXS at HAFB. This is a follow-on contract to existing Siemens NX CAD/CAM procurement.

The justification for single-source solicitation from Siemens is based on the software's specialized use in modeling and writing machine code for CNC equipment to machine parts for specific weapon systems. The document emphasizes that Siemens is the OEM of NX CAD/CAM software and has been in continual use since 2002, with switching to competing software presenting substantial duplication costs exceeding $1 million and requiring approximately six months for training and implementation. The risks of equipment damage, service outages, and operational delays without proper 3D models are cited as justification. A GSA search resulted in only partial coverage, and competing software would effectively require a complete replacement rather than a renewal. The contracting officer determined on July 9, 2026, that only a single source is reasonably available pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
