- DESCRIPTION: The Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate a firm fixed price purchase order, on a sole source basis, with THERMO-CALC SOFTWARE under other than full and open competition by the authority of FAR subpart 13.1 using the authority in FAR 13.106-1(b) Not Exceeding Simplified Acquisition Threshold. ��Therma-Calc Software 4160 WASHINGTON RD STE 230, CANONSBURG, PA 15317 is the Thermo-Calc Software Inc is the sole source and supplier of Thermo-Calc Software products (Thermo-Calc, DICTRA, TC-PRISMA, TC-API, TQ-I, TC-Toolbox for Matlab, TC-Python and associated thermodynamic and mobility databases [e.g. TCNI11, MOBNI5]). NIST's Materials Science and Engineering Division (MSED) requires the updated Thermo-Calc TCNI8 thermodynamic database (version 11 - which contains the thermal conductivity) and diffusion mobility descriptions for Ni-based alloys of the Therma-Calc databases, as well composition-dependent thermal conductivity and thermal expansion data.� These databases are essential for improving existing Ni-based materials for additive manufacturing and for developing new materials.��� Thermo-Calc Software is the sole provider of these databases and does not authorize third-party vendors. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 511210, and the size standard is $41.5 Million. No solicitation package will be issued.
