A.02 FAR-Part 13 MFR less than SAT_Redacted.pdf
Sep 29, 2024, 4:42 PM UTC
This memorandum outlines a non-competitive procurement action under FAR Part 13 for the acquisition of the Line of Sight (LoS) software tool and support services. The Contracting Officer determined that only Poly Inc. could fulfill the Army's requirements, necessitated by the need for software compatibility with both MicroStation and Autodesk Civil 3D engineering software, essential for the Range and Land Program's mission. A sources sought notice published in July 2024 indicated that Poly Inc.’s RangeSight software is currently the only solution that meets the Army’s specifications while operating independently of MicroStation. The analysis concluded that it would not be advantageous for the government to solicit competitive offers, as Poly Inc. remains the sole source that can deliver the required software tool effectively. Consequently, the Contracting Officer recommended proceeding with a purchase order to Poly Inc. without competition. This action emphasizes the government's reliance on specific vendors under urgent procurement conditions to ensure operational readiness and technical compatibility.
