This requirement will be conducted under Simplified Acquisition procedures, FAR Part 13. The Volpe Center has been supporting National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the areas of automobile modeling and crashworthiness evaluation, biomechanical modeling and analysis, and related engineering studies in the development of finite element vehicle models specifically to run on LSDyna3d. Small Business firms classified under SIC Code 7379 that are interested in responding, must demonstrate in writing within 15 days of the date of this synopsis that they possess the rights to the proprietary codes and are familiar with the special computational capabilities for Volpe Center programmatic requirements. Small business firms will be required to submit documentation in support of the above for evaluation by the Government prior to receiving a Request for Quotation (RFQ). This proposed action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority 6.302. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice received will normally be considered, solely for the purpose of dete rmining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. RFQ issuance will be on or about December 5, 2000. A single award will result from this solicitation. No telephone requests will be accepted -- only written requests for this solicitation will be accepted -- however, we will accept requests for this quotation via facsimile, at 617-494-3649, Attn: Diane E.
