The consolidation aspect of this procurement seeks to merge these distinct Lab-held licenses into a single centrally-managed portfolio and to have them all on a common performance period for annual technical support.� Ansys, Inc. is the owner of all rights to the software and is the only vendor with the legal rights to publish and distribute these materials worldwide. Therefore, the Ansys, Inc. is the only vendor capable of meeting this requirement. Additionally, Ansys, Inc. provided a letter stating and confirming, �Ansys software and Ansys technical support is only available to National Institute of Standards and Technology directly from Ansys.� �The proposed contract is for sixteen (16) months.� *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 513210, Software Publishers. ****** A determination by the Government whether to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.� Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. *****No solicitation package will be issued.� This notice of intent is not a request for quotations.� Interested parties that believe they can satisfy the requirements listed above must identify their capability in writing before the response date of this notice. Only responses received by February 17, 2023, 12:00 p.m., EST will be considered by the Government. Responses shall be submitted via email to Yolanda.McCray@nist.gov and Monica.Brown@nist.gov.� .
