    The Department of the Army's Walla Walla District is seeking to renew its SolidWorks licenses through a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with Lyme Computer Systems, INC. This letter serves as a request for a quote for software renewal, specifically for SolidWorks Premium and SolidWorks Premium with Simulation Premium, covering five and two seats respectively for three additional years. These licenses are essential for engineering tasks within the Design Branch and Operations Division, as SolidWorks has been in use for nearly two decades. The document includes a Statement of need, technical specifications detailing software features, and a request for proposals to be submitted by 10:00 AM PST on September 9, 2024. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers, targeting small businesses.

    Single Brand Determination redacted.pdf
    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District, is seeking approval for a three-year, firm-fixed-price contract with Lyme Computer Systems for the renewal of 21 licenses of SolidWorks Premium and Simulation Premium software. This software is essential for the Design Branch, allowing engineers to create detailed three-dimensional models, simulate real-world conditions, and conduct finite element analysis to assess design integrity. Lyme Computer Systems is identified as the sole distributor of these licenses, matching pricing from Dassault Systems SolidWorks Corporation. The inability to renew these licenses would result in significant operational impacts, including loss of access to historical design files, software updates, customer support, and usability of existing models. Additionally, transitioning to alternative software would necessitate extensive retraining without guaranteeing compatibility with established files. The document cites relevant purchasing regulations and justifies the need for a single-source procurement due to the unique capabilities of SolidWorks and the absence of suitable alternatives. Ultimately, this contract is vital for maintaining design capabilities and operational efficiency within the district.
