AI Contract Overview

The Air Force Materiel Command, specifically the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson AFB, intends to award a sole source Firm-Fixed Price contract for the annual lease of 35 LMX-based HyperWorks Units to Altair Engineering Inc. This decision follows a market research effort that identified Altair Engineering Inc. as the only capable provider due to proprietary information, justifying the sole source award under FAR 6.302-1. The contract aligns with FAR Subpart 15.2 procedures and arises from the need for supplies that only one or limited responsible sources can provide, with no viable alternatives available. Interested parties are invited to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations within three days of the notice publication to be considered, though this is not a solicitation for competitive proposals. The government holds sole discretion to proceed without competition based on the responses received. Questions about the acquisition can be directed to Contract Specialist James Paxton, while contractor concerns may be addressed confidentially through the appointed Ombudsman, Jill Willingham-Allen, who facilitates communication between contractors and government officials without influencing the solicitation or evaluation process.
