- Description
- 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 and maintenance. This notice is being issued as a Sole Source Request for Quotation to Flow Science, Inc., Santa Fe, NM for the following: Line Item 1: FLOW-3D License with 3 solver tokens including maintenance, with two tokens upgraded to SMP parallel. Line Item 2: FLOW-3D/MP License with one SMP solver token and 15 rank tokens. FLOW-3D software is currently used for thermal flow modeling in support of the Launch Services Program (LSP). NASA has designed and developed models and processes using the FLOW-3D software. The acquisition of any other software would entail unacceptable technical risk to the program by introducing incompatibilities with existing data, simulations, models, and processes that would require years of redevelopment and would impact schedules. Flow Science is the only authorized source of the FLOW-3D software. Delivery of the FLOW-3D licenses and tokens are due no later than June 22, 2013. Period of performance for the FLOW-3D software is July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. Quotation must reflect that the delivery date and period of performance can be met. Evaluation criteria are technical acceptability and overall lowest cost. It is critical that offerors provide adequate detail to allow evaluation of their offer. (SEE FAR 52.212-1(b)).
