- Description
- NASA/ARC has a requirement for an ABAQUS Finite Element Software-1 user network license (1 year lease). NASA/ARC intends to purchase the software license from Dassault Systemes Simulia Corp. of Providence, RI., under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b), only one source reasonably available. ABAQUS is developed and marketed by only one company, Dassault Systemes Simulia Corp. The ABAQUS software has the ability to model complex material non-linear response. No other software package provides the material models or the integrated implicit/explicit solution techniques provided by ABAQUS that are required by NASA. NASA Ames plans to use ABAQUS to support highly non-linear material contact problems such as the Orion capsule landing analyses and CEV heatshield structural performance. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. Pacific time on August 15, 2007. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
