    PR 1301217247 Brand Name Justification_Redacted.pdf
    This memorandum presents a Sole Source/Brand Name Justification for an acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for the use of Siemens FEMAP/NASTRAN software at NSWCCD. According to FAR 13.106-1, the contracting officer may solicit proposals from a single source when uniquely qualified. The memorandum underscores that only Siemens Technologies develops FEMAP/NASTRAN, and its proprietary status necessitates its continued use to avoid operational disruptions, significant re-training costs, and complications due to alternate software options. The document emphasizes that retaining this specific software is in the Government's best interest, ensuring alignment with existing systems and reducing potential burdens associated with integrating different software solutions. The estimated cost for the software and maintenance support prohibits open competition, supporting the justification for this sole source procurement.
