70 -- ABAQUS FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS SOFTWARE LICENSE SOL DTRS57-00-Q-80029 DUE 031500 POC Point of Contact -- Katherine Chao, Purchasing Agent, (617) 494-3649 WEB: Volpe Center Acquisition Division home page, http://www.volpe.dot.gov/procure/index.html. E-MAIL: Purchasing Agent, Chao@volpe.dot.gov. The Volpe Center plans to procure a sole source Simplified Acquisition from Abaqus Solutions Northeast, LLC, Warwick, RI, to provide the renewal of ABAQUS finite element analysis software license for one year, April 1, 2000 to March 31, 2,001. This requirement is for a two-seat license for a finite element analysis software system, which is capable of linear, nonlinear, static and dynamic analysis. The product must include a graphical post-processing feature, which is compatible with Silicon Graphics workstation display capabilities. Small Business firms classified under SIC Code 7373 that are interested in responding, must have a code that would allow for adaptive meshing capabilities using Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian techniques, include multiple plasticity models capable of modelin g metals, rubbers, geomechanic materials, and crushable foam materials and the code should also include an equation of state material property model capable of modeling fluid-solid interactions during low velocity impacts with the possibility of perforation. Small business firms will be required to submit documentation in support of the above prior to receiving a quotation, no later than 15 days form date of publication. Telephone requests will not be accepted, only written requests for this quotation will be accepted. Requests via facsimile will be accepted at (617) 494-3649, Attn: Katherine Chao, DTS-852.
