About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base is seeking to procure software tool kits from Ansys Government Initiatives, Inc. through a sole-source procurement process. The pre-solicitation notice indicates the government intends to negotiate exclusively with Ansys under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3572, which allows for single-source contracting when no other suppliers can meet agency requirements. The contract will be structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) agreement in the Software Publishers (NAICS 513210) category, specifically for IT and Telecom business application software with perpetual license provisions. While detailed evaluation criteria are not explicitly outlined in the notice, the procurement appears to be targeted specifically at Ansys's unique software capabilities. The pre-solicitation was posted on December 28, 2024, with a response deadline of December 30, 2024, suggesting an expedited acquisition timeline.
The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate any specific set-aside designations, meaning the contract is open to standard competitive considerations. No specific contract value or budget range is disclosed in the current documentation. The procurement is classified under Product Service Code 7A21 for perpetual license software, suggesting a technology-focused acquisition with likely long-term usage rights. As a sole-source procurement, Ansys Government Initiatives, Inc. is positioned as the exclusive vendor for this contract, implying they possess specialized software tools or capabilities uniquely suited to the Air Force's requirements. The contract's swift timeline and focused vendor selection suggest this is a strategically important but narrowly defined technological procurement for the Air Force Materiel Command.
