Describe why the authority cited above is appropriate for this acquisition:

The Software Engineering Directorate (SED) Apache Lab requires the Esterel Technologies, Inc.

SCADE software license which is used for Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) Software Design.

This software is needed to support the Apache Post Production Software Support and is not available from any other vendor. Unavailability of this software will result in a loss of capability for the Common Test Environment and will impact the Government's ability to assess the flight safety status of Apache Block II.

Contractor’s unique qualifications (i.e., unique skills, data, equipment, processes) and evidence that such are essential to meet the government’s requirement: the basis for attributing qualifications to the contractor, why no other contractor has or can be made to have the essential qualifications to meet the government’s requirement or specified delivery date, and provide a statement why no other type of hardware or service can satisfy the government’s need.)
