Purchase Order N0017319P1435

The Office of Naval Research awarded a $22,985 firm fixed-price purchase order to Comsol, Inc. for software under Purchase Request 73-0229-19. The contract, awarded on September 11, 2019, with an ultimate completion date of September 10, 2020, was performed at Comsol's facility in Burlington, Massachusetts. No small business set-aside was utilized for this acquisition. Comsol, Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer headquartered in Burlington, specializes in COMSOL Multiphysics, a computational modeling and simulation platform widely used across scientific and engineering disciplines including aerospace, automotive, energy, and electronics.

This purchase order represents a continuation of ONR's established relationship with Comsol for providing specialized simulation software capabilities to support naval research and engineering initiatives. Comsol's COMSOL Multiphysics software enables researchers and engineers to conduct multiphysics modeling—simultaneous analysis of mechanical, electrical, acoustic, thermal, and other coupled physical effects—critical for advanced technology development and validation across the Department of Defense. This contract is consistent with Comsol's typical federal contracting pattern of delivering software licenses, modules, and technical support through firm fixed-price agreements to various defense and civilian agencies since the company's registration in the federal contracting system in 2001.
