D -- DEVELOPMENT OF SIMULATION MODELS SOL 53SBNB067076 DUE 080100 POC Joseph L. Widdup, Contracting Officer (301) 975-6324 or email: joseph.widdup@nist.gov WEB: NIST Contracts Homepage, http://www.nist.gov/admin/od/contract/contract.htm. E-MAIL: NIST Contracts Office, Contract@nist.gov. The Government intends to issue a Request for Quotations (RFQ) under FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, for non-commercial services to develop distributed interfaces, models and simulations of manufacturing operations for the shipbuilding and repair industry and the manufacturing industry in general using commercial simulation software (Deneb Envision, Deneb Virtual Numerical Control, Deneb IGRIP, Deneb Ergo, EAI Factory/Plan, Factory Flow, Factory/CAD, EAI Transom Jack, Motion Factory Motivate, ProModel, Autosimulations AutoSched, Autosimulations AutoMod, Systems Modeling ARENA, Extended Imagine That, Mechanical Dynamics, Adams, Cybele (and related Cybele modules) as well as the computer languages C, C++ and Java. Responsibilities will focus on developing and maintaining simulation models that include manufacturing processes for steel fabrication, electromechanical production, die casting, injection molding, machining, assembly, inspection, human operator modeling, ergonomics analysis, and supply chain, discrete event models, and graphical representations. This RFQ is a small business set-aside under SIC Code 7379 (size standard: $18.0 million). The period of performance for the resultant purchase order is one year. The contract type for the purchase order will be labor-hour.

Award for the purchase order will involve a tradeoff process whereby the following factors will be considered in selecting the awardee: (a) written demonstration of understanding of the SOW requirements and the technical approach that would be employed during performance; (b) resume(s) of key person(s) that would perform the SOW requirements; (c) past performance information; and (d) price. Award may be made to other than the lowest priced quote or to other than the highest technically rated quote. All responsible sources that are small businesses under SIC Code 7379 may submit a quote, which will be considered. The quoter should indicate their Taxpayer ID number and DUNS number on their quote.
