Portland, OR, 97204, pursuant to 41 U.S.C.253(c)(1)--Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This request is for renewal of existing licenses for Schrodinger, LLC., for the period 1/1/08-12/31/08. The quantity is (1) each for 17 tokens. This software uses a solution of the Schrodinger Equation to describe the space and time dependence of quantum mechanical systems. Four significant uses that require the Schrodinger software are: 1) Fast and accurate prediction of ligand induced conformational changes in receptor active sites; 2) Efficient rank-ordering of compounds and predicting binding affinities; 3) Protein preparation correction algorithm for common structural problems and creating reliable, all atom protein models; 4) M-Poarized ligand docking is substantially enhanced accuracy over pure MM docking algorithms. Schrodinger, LLC is the only known source that can provide maintenance and support on its product. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability. Respond to this requirement by submitting written capabilities/specifications to the Purchasing Agent at the address stated above.

A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received within 6 days of this notice to determine whether a qualified source is more advantageous to the Government, an order will be placed with Schrodinger, LLC.
