FAR 5.102 (a) (6): An acquisition that uses a brand name description or other purchase description to specify a particular brand name, product, or feature of a product peculiar to one manufacturer does not provide for full and open competition regardless of the number of sources solicited. The restriction of sources for this acquisition is justified in accordance with the following: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), U.S. Army Engineer Research & Development Center Technical Report (ERDCTR), Building Information, Modeling (B.I.M), and Military Construction standard (MILCON). All of which have worked with Autodesk Incorporation since approximately (October 2006), during that time they have focused in creating government reference guides that incorporates "best- practice" industry recommendations, for example; the government Engineers uses Building Information Modeling (BIM): A Roadmap for Implementation To Support MILCON Transformation and Civil Works Projects within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, this is often referred as the USACE BIM Roadmap. The BIM technology provides essential information to members of the Facilities Engineering Group, which is currently supported by MILCON for their Engineering, Architecture, and Building construction projects. The Autodesk Revit platform is required for all Engineers that work on (BIM)-related projects which is supervised by USACE. To define a brief "technical description" of the AutoCAD Revit MEP, it should be noted that within the USACE, the Revit (Structural, Architectural, & MEP) is the current industry standard "3D" BIM software. Building Information Modeling is currently required for all MILCON projects. One of the primary objectives of the Autodesk Revit application is to use the application tools to reduce building life-cycle costs, improve delivery time, and facilitate quality assurance. The Autodesk Revit software suite was created to design and coordinate architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing disciplines in an environment, using parametric with bidirectional associativity. In conclusion; given the fact that the Facility Engineering department already uses the Autodesk AutoCAD for their systems design efforts at this installation, the engineers require to maintain the compatibility between their "2D" and "3D" design tools. The AutoCAD Revit (Structural, Architectural, & MEP) all meets the government's needs. Presently, the Engineers are using Industry Standard USACE AutoCAD software for all their (A & E) technical-types of drawings. Given the "unknown compatibility" of other vendors software conflicting with their AutoCAD Revit and Autodesk Revit it is in the Government's best interest to continue with the current product.
