- 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 MathWorks Software Maintenance. This notice is being issued as a Sole Source Request for Quotation to MathWorks, Inc., Natick, MA for the following items (see attached specifications). The MathWorks Software Maintenance is needed for NASAs Mathworks software. This software is used in the performance of flight analyses for the Launch Services Program. The program has developed specific codes, models, and simulations of its own that run using Mathworks software. This software must be maintained to avoid introducing incompatibilities with existing data, simulations, models, and processes. Use of a different software package would require years of redevelopment work and impact launch schedules. The Mathworks is the only provider of maintenance and support for Mathworks software. Delivery of the MathWorks Software is due by June 21, 2013. Period of performance for the MathWorks 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)).
