About this award

The U.S. Department of Transportation, through the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, awarded a $25,656.40 firm fixed-price purchase order to Ansys Inc. on June 26, 2025, for the renewal of LS-DYNA software maintenance support covering fiscal year 2025. The contract supports the Federal Railroad Administration's crashworthiness engineering projects by maintaining thirty-five existing site license keys for LS-DYNA Finite Element Analysis software through June 15, 2026. LS-DYNA is uniquely capable of modeling anthropomorphic test devices specified in American Public Transportation Association safety standards, and market research confirmed it as the only software meeting these specialized requirements. This non-competitive sole-source award was justified based on the criticality of maintaining uninterrupted access to these specialized licenses for ongoing rail safety engineering work.

The procurement was awarded without set-aside designation to Ansys Inc., a global leader in engineering simulation software headquartered in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. Ansys maintains extensive federal contracting relationships across multiple agencies including NASA, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Energy. The company operates under a $558 million General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract (awarded May 2023, running through May 2028) that enables civilian agencies and the Department of Defense to acquire Ansys software, maintenance, and technical support through individual task orders, under which this LS-DYNA maintenance renewal likely falls as a task order.
