Ansys Government Initiatives, Systems Tool Kits

The Air Force, through the Department of Defense office FA8604 AFLCMC PZI at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, intends to award a sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price contract to Ansys Government Initiatives for the renewal of its Systems Tool Kit (STK) software. This action is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3572 and FAR 6.103-1 as a non-competitive procurement, based on the determination that only one responsible source exists and no other products or services will meet the agency’s technical requirements. The solicitation, identified by number F4FTAX6156AW02, was posted on June 16, 2026, with a response deadline of June 23, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 541519 for other computer-related services. The evaluation will focus on technical acceptability and price reasonableness, with no competitive weighting factors applied. Price reasonableness will be determined through historical comparison with prior contracts involving the same vendor, market research, an independent government estimate, and consultation with the Defense Contract Audit Agency if needed. Certified cost and pricing data will not be required as this constitutes a commercial acquisition under FAR 15.403(c)(3). The place of performance is specified as Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, though the period of performance, delivery schedule, and total contract value are not detailed in the available documentation. No packaging, inspection, administration, or special requirements are specified, and no list of attachments or representations from the offeror is included. Primary point of contact for inquiries is Rachel Craighead, with Dana Holt listed as secondary.
