About this opportunity
ACC-RSA issued a sole-source Special Notice on August 28, 2026 for Questa One software licenses, restricting competition to Siemens Industry Software Inc., with a response deadline of September 3, 2026. The procurement supports the Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation and Missile Center's Tactical Aviation and Ground Munitions Project Office and covers 15 Regression Pool licenses and 3 standard Questa One Sim Ap SW Subscription licenses for dynamic analysis simulations on Field Programmable Gate Array and Application-Specific Integrated Circuit source code during Independent Verification and Validation testing. The contract period runs September 23, 2026 through September 22, 2027. The Government's justification for sole source, documented under FAR 13.106-(b)(1)(ii), rests on Questa One's unique ability to preserve IEEE 1800.2 technical baselines while delivering full device visibility and functional coverage metrics for safety-critical verification; alternative simulators (Synopsys VCS and Cadence Xcelium) were evaluated and rejected as unsuitable without unacceptable cost duplication and schedule delays. Market research confirmed no alternative sources through Siemens, existing Enterprise License Agreements, the Department of War Enterprise Software Initiative, or the CHESS ITES-SW2 program. IAW FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B), all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation. No solicitation documents currently exist.
