- Description
- This Sole Source notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in 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 FEKO computational electromagnetic modeling (CEM) software with conversion to Hyperworks license tokens. FEKO software is currently used for CEM in support of the Launch Services Program. 100% software compatibility is required in order to meet the goals of the program. The use of any other software would create a risk to the program by introducing incompatibility with existing data, simulations, models, and processes. Usage of incompatible software is not in the best interest of the Government due to the cost and schedule constraints. Altair Engineering, Inc., a large business, is the only source of maintenance and support for the FEKO software with conversion to Hyperworks license tokens. Selection of another vendor results in unreasonable additional costs. Using any other CEM software package would introduce unacceptable risk of incompatibility, time delays, and an increase to the risk of mission failure. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotation for the following: Line Item 1: Conversion of FEKO paid-up commercial license to equivalent HyperWorks paid-up commercial license with access to FEKO products only, perpetual license. Product Code: FEKO-HWUCONV-PDUP (HyperWorks Units 86) Line Item 2: HyperWorks maintenance for paid-up commercial license with access to FEKO products only. Period of performance 9/1/15 - 8/31/16. Product Code: FEKO-HWU-STDMNT (HyperWorks Units 86) Delivery of the above line items shall be August 14, 2015 or sooner. Quotation must reflect that the delivery date can be met. Interested organizations may submit their written quotation or written detailed capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 12:00 PM EST on August 12, 2015. 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. Evaluation criteria are technical acceptability and overall lowest cost. It is critical that offerors provide adequate product and delivery detail to allow evaluation of the offer.(SEE FAR 52.212-1(b)).
