Synopsis of Proposed Contract Action -- AGI Software

This Special Notice announces the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base's intention to award a Firm Fixed Price contract to Ansys Government Initiatives (AGI) for AGI Software Licenses. The notice was posted on January 23, 2026, and represents a proposed contract action under FAR 5.201(b)(1). The Government intends to negotiate with this single source in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), which permits non-competitive procurement procedures. This procurement falls under the category of Other Computer Related Services (NAICS 541519) and specifically addresses IT and Telecom business application software with perpetual licensing. No set-aside restrictions apply to this contract action.

The primary objective of this solicitation is to procure AGI Software Licenses to support Air Force operations and requirements. Contractors interested in this opportunity must note the January 30, 2026 deadline, though this notice explicitly disclaims that it constitutes a formal Request for Quotation, Request for Proposal, Invitation for Bid, or binding commitment. Given the single-source nature of this procurement, only Ansys Government Initiatives is positioned to respond to this proposed contract action, as the Government has determined that this vendor is the appropriate source for the required software licenses. This special notice serves primarily to provide visibility into the Government's procurement intentions rather than to solicit competitive bids from multiple contractors. Parties seeking to challenge or provide information regarding this procurement have limited time to do so before the stated deadline.
