Mfr: Seimens Government Services, Inc.
Justification for Sole Source or Brand Name Only: Siemens Government Technologies (SGT) is the developer and maintainer of Siemens NX, FEMAP, and Teamcenter. As a result, they own all the source code of the software and have established a robust service center to assist users with any software issues. They exclusively provide software maintenance to their products. No other companies are capable of meeting the software maintenance requirements because they do not have access to and cannot legally modify the source code of Siemens NX, FEMAP and Teamcenter. Thus, there are no other companies that can release software updates to support software maintenance. Further, since Siemens controls the software there are no other companies who have set up a help desk for NX, FEMAP, or Teamcenter.
