Aveva Software

The contract award for Aveva Software under solicitation number FA812526P0045 is a sole-source acquisition justified under FAR 6.302-1 due to the proprietary nature of the software and the exclusive distribution rights held by Q-Mation, LLC. The procurement is for 19 InTouch 2023 R2 licenses and 2 AdvDevInTDev 2023 R2 licenses, accompanied by one year of customer support, to upgrade test station infrastructure at the 76th CMXG in S Coffeyville, Oklahoma, ensuring seamless integration with existing data acquisition systems and 21 new replacement computers. No competitive process was conducted because alternative software cannot functionally interface with the current systems without risking operational disruption, and Aveva’s licensing model prohibits third-party distribution or data rights transfer. The contracting office is located at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, with the Department of Defense’s Air Force Sustainment Center acting as the procuring agency. Contract administration is overseen by Jason Shirazi as likely PCO and Jennifer M. Brown as COR/COTR, with primary point of contact Madelyn Wiens available for inquiries. Performance is set for S Coffeyville, OK, but no formal delivery schedule, FOB terms, or contract type (e.g., FFP, CPFF) has been specified. The estimated value remains undisclosed due to the absence of detailed pricing in the Rough Order of Magnitude documentation. No formal inspection criteria, packaging requirements, invoicing procedures, or accounting lines such as AAC, TAS, or ACRN are detailed. The vendor, Q-Mation, LLC, operates as a large business with CAGE code 1Q194 and holds no socioeconomic certifications. The acquisition relies entirely on the vendor’s exclusivity, making future competition impracticable and reinforcing the necessity of the sole-source award.
