J&A Number: 26-0303
Government will conduct market research to assess whether alternatives can meet mission requirements without unacceptable transition risk. To the extent practicable, future acquisition planning will consider approaches that reduce dependency on a single original equipment manufacturer while preserving mission continuity and operational reliability Support for the Government's Mission:
This procurement provides a mission-critical Digital Engineering ecosystem. By linking Cameo Systems Modeler directly to high-fidelity simulations via an automated digital thread, this suite enables the government to conduct real-time requirements verification and complex 4D mission analysis. This capability directly supports the warfighter by accelerating acquisition timelines, ensuring decision superiority through high-fidelity "what-if" combat scenarios, and increasing asset readiness via predictive digital twins all while maintaining interoperability with major defense contractors and operating within approved government networks. The Contracting Officer will determine price reasonableness in accordance with the applicable ordering procedures and the contract vehicle used for award. The determination to limit sources is based on compatibility, integration, and mission requirements associated with expansion of the existing Ansys Systems environment, and not solely on price considerations
