    A02.14 SSJ Under SAT - DIANA FEA - SAM.gov.docx
    The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) plans to award a sole-source contract for DIANA software licenses to support the Institute for Water Resources Risk Management Center. The justification for this action, prepared by HECSA in Alexandria, Virginia, states that DIANA software is essential for risk analysis and modeling of dam infrastructure. The software, restricted to a single source due to the absence of authorized resellers, will be provided under a firm-fixed price for five user licenses, with a contract duration of one base year and four optional years. The DIANA software is vital for conducting thermal analyses necessary for major construction projects, specifically the Garrison Dam Spillway Modification, which has a significant budget of $6 billion. Market research revealed no alternative products compatible with Army networks or compliant with Federal standards, further confirming the need for this specific software. Sole-source procurement is justified under FAR regulations, confirming the price will be fair and reasonable. This initiative reflects the government's commitment to effectively managing water resources and maintaining essential infrastructure through targeted software acquisitions.
