- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for: Microstripes/Flomerics Floating, Perpetual License (1 Job) Last item. No other software license is compatible for use with NASA's systems and requirements. In the performance of analysis functions for the Launch Services Program, NASA has designed and developed unique software models that interface with Microstripes software. In addition, Microstripes software is uniquely adapted to running on supercomputer systems, utilizing their large memory and processor availability. Microstripes interact with existing software, procedures, and data in use by the LSP and allows for more complex simulations. The more advanced features of Microstripes include the ability to model Absorbing and Wraparound Boundaries, Wires and Wire Bundles, and Conductive Films that are not available in other EM packages. The acquisition of any other software would entail unacceptable technical risk to mission critical modeling. Flomerics is the only source of this particular brand of software.
