- Description
- Contractor must deliver licenses by June 18th, 2012. This solicitation is a sole source acquisition notice for commercial items prepared in accordance with 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. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) has a requirement for annual FLOW-3D licenses. This notice is being issued as a Sole Source Request for Quotation to Flow Science, Inc., Santa Fe, NM for the following:Item 1: Leased license for three solver tokens, including maintenance service, for FLOW-3D computational fluid dynamics software. Period of Performance: July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. Item 2: Leased license for one standard solver token and fifteen rank tokens for the distributed memory version of FLOW-3D known as FLOW-3D/MP. Period of Performance: July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. Flow Science is the only source of the FLOW-3D software. FLOW-3D software is currently used for thermal flow modeling in support of the Launch Services Program. NASA has designed and developed models and processes using the FLOW-3D software. It is in the best interest of the Government to procure the FLOW-3D licenses from Flow Science, Inc. The acquisition of any other software would entail unacceptable risk to the program by introducing incompatibilities with existing data, simulations, models and processes that would require years of redevelopment and would impact launch schedules. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their quotation and detailed capabilities and qualifications to perform this effort in writing to the identified point of contact no later than 10:00am EST time on May 17, 2012. Such detailed capabilities and qualifications must demonstrate in writing the ability to meet this requirement and 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. Questions must be received in writing (email) by 10:00 a.m. EST on May 9, 2012, to the identified point of contact. 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. See NASA Specific Note 'B'. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 57. In accordance with FAR 19.502-1(2), this acquisition is set aside for small business. The NAICS Code and the small business size standard for this procurement are 511210, 500 employees respectively. The offeror shall state in their offer their size status forthis procurement. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. The DPAS rating for this procurement is DO-C9. Offers for the items(s) described above are due by 10:00am EST on May 17, 2012 via email to maile.t.krienke@nasa.gov. Offers must include solicitation number, FOB destination to KSC, proposed delivery schedule, discount/payment terms, warranty duration (if applicable), taxpayer identification number (TIN), identification of any special commercial terms, and be signed by an authorized company representative.
