ANSYS GRANTA Software Licenses and Maintenance

Solicitation N68520-21-R-0032 is issued as a synopsis/solicitation.  The Government intends to purchase on a firm fixed price basis and to solicit and award the proposed purchase order on a sole source basis to ANSYS, INC, under the authority of FAR Parts 12 and 13.  The Commander, Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC) Digital Group Aviation Product Lifecycle Management (AvPLM) program requires licenses and maintenance for ANSYS Granta software to provide material data, part/process data, and test results in support of additive manufacturing digital enablement. ANSYS, INC is the only known source for this requirement. Any substitutions may render some or all of the software inoperable resulting in significant impacts to the program and the Warfighter by introducing increased labor costs, increased risk of quality escapes, limited ability to identify material substitution or optimization opportunities, and delays in delivering parts to the Fleet.
