- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE The United States Air Force (the Government) intends to issue a Firm-Fixed-Price order to a single source, COMSOL, Inc. (only one source reasonably available) on or about 30 September 2020.� The period of performance (PoP) shall be from 1 October 2020 - 30 September 2021.� �� FSC: 7030 NAICS: 511210 Size Standard: $41.5M Software name: COMSOL License Subscription. Supplier name: COMSOL, Inc. Product description: The Material and Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL/RXOC) currently has a requirement for the purchase of COMSOL software license renewal which includes a subscription to maintenance that provides access to support and training resources.� COMSOL is a multi-physics modeling software used by researchers to understand and predict the interactions of light and electromagnetic waves on an incident structure. AFRL/RXOC requires the procurement of COMSOL software, which is utilized to accomplish mission critical research. COMSOL is a preferred simulation package for nonlinear optical and plasmonic work in electromagnetics due to COMSOL's flexible definition of materials response its ability to program complex, user defined materials response. This is widely recognized in the research community, and is essential to our nonlinear plasmonics program. In addition, COMSOL is the only software suite which allows the AFRL/RX researcher simultaneously consider thermal, electromagnetic, optical, chemical, mechanical and aerodynamic physics in an artificial environment. Of the various finite element software packages available, many cover some subset of these capabilities, but none provide for all.� The renewal requested will provide upgrades to the most current version of COSMOL interfaces and modules already in use at AFRL/RXOC as well as provide access to new modules. Subscription maintenance provides access to support and training resources which are essential when new projects are conducted and new users are added to the current pool.
