70 -- SOL DE-RP21-96MC33123 DUE 080596 POC Contact Daniel A. Doyle, 304/285-4340, Contracting Officer Randolph R. Cooper, 304/285-4160 The US Department of Energy's Morgantown Energy Technology Center intends to purchase noncompetitively from Computer Modeling Group, Office #200, 3512-33 Street N.W., Calgary, Canada, T2L-A6, a one year membership with four one year options. Membership authorizes access to a Three - Phase Implicit-Explicit Dual Porosity/Dual Permeability Black Oil Simulator (IMEX), an Equation of State Compositional Simulator (GEM), a Phase Property Package (CMGPROP) and a Thermal Simulator (STARS). The models must be capable of running on VAX/VMS, DEC AXP/UNIX and SGI/IRIX environments. The membership will be acquired noncompetitively because METC has already paid $100,000 to join this modeling group and switching to another modeling group would cause program delays and additional costs for conversion of existing software for new interface requirements. This data must be submitted within 15 days after publication of this notice. See Numbered Note 22. (0193)
