PolyWorks License Subscription

Database Requirements:

Aberdeen Test Center, Materials and Measurements Test Branch (MMTB) has 10 seats of PolyWorks software. This request is for a software subscription. There is no need for vendor to come onsite to perform software maintenance. The maintenance is completed through software patches and/or updates.

•A PolyWorks Support/Maintenance Contract allows us to extend our software investment by granting access to the latest releases and web services. This will ensure that we will have the latest patches, updates, and the newest tools. Additional benefits that enhance productivity include expert technical support from the programmers that write the software.

• The MMTB will gain access to the latest software releases and stay current with new product enhancements. They will also be able to leverage services and tech support for data collection, processing, and analysis optimization.

• It is also requested that there be 2 option years added to the contract to reduce the workload of the MMTB personnel as well as Army Contracting since this is a yearly requirement. Option years may lock in a cheaper rate than that offered in the future for this service.
