About this opportunity
The Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base issued a Notice of Intent to Award Single Source to Siemens Industry Software Inc. for Altair software licensing and maintenance, with responses due by August 21, 2026 at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. This is a non-competitive procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i); the Government reserves discretion to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received.
AFRL/PZLET procures 60 Altair Units for the Enterprise Suite under lease arrangement and 90 Altair Units for Enterprise Suite Technical Support and Software Maintenance services (TSSM) for the period September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027. The sole source determination cites Altair HyperWorks as essential to AFRL's structural and multi-disciplinary analysis capabilities over 8+ years, specifically the OptiStruct and Multiscale Designer modules for composite structural analysis. The Aerospace Systems Directorate has developed high-fidelity models and specialized composite material data cards uniquely compatible with Altair/OptiStruct solvers; conversion to alternative software would incur prohibitive costs and risk loss of legacy databases. Manufacturer inquiry confirmed Altair Engineering Inc. (now Siemens Industry Software Inc., Plano, Texas) is the sole developer with no authorized resellers.
Interested parties must submit responses to Dionne.Franklin@us.af.mil with subject line "Siemens Industry Software Direct Subscription-Altair Units." Only supported file types (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx, .vsdx) are permitted; .zip and .exe attachments will be deleted.
