- Description
- NASA/KSC has a requirement for a STAR-CCM+ Software License renewal. NASA/KSC intends to purchase the item from CD-adapco of Melville, NY. NASA/KSC is frequently required to perform fluid dynamic analysis on complex geometries in a timely fashion. To accomplish this goal,NASA/KSC uses CD-adapcos STAR-CCM+. CD-adapcos STAR-CCM+ is the only known tool that allows a high-quality triangulated surface to be wrapped onto complex geometries, closes holes, joins disconnected and overlapping surfaces, as well as automatically discards obsolete surfaces. Acquisition of any other software would significantly impact the time required to incorporate satellite geometry into fairing models in support of spacecraft verification and validation, resulting in potential negative impacts to launch schedules. Deviation from STAR-CCM+ would be expensive in terms of time and cost related to any retraining of analysis personnel. 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. local time on June 4, 2015. 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. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/p ub_library/Omb.html.
