MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS

Title: SYSWELD Software for Code 611, Base year with four one-year options

1.0 SCOPE:

NSWCCD Code 611 performs research, development, testing, and evaluation in the areas of welding, welding-related allied processes, nondestructive testing and evaluation and integrated computational materials engineering in support of the Office of Naval Research, various surface and subsurface acquisition and in-service program offices, and the NAVSEA Technical Warrant Holders for Welding and Fabrication of Submarine Structures, Welding and Fabrication of Surface Ship Structures, Machinery Welding and Fabrication, and Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation. Code 611 also provides engineering and technical support for emergent Fleet needs to include failure analyses and risk assessments for welded components and systems. The use of simulation software reduces the schedule and cost impacts for the support Code 611 provides to our above-mentioned stakeholders. Code 611 requires SYSWELD software to simulate and interrogate welding process parameters to reduce the cost and schedule for performing welding-related research, development, testing and evaluation. The SYSWELD software allows Code 611 to predict resultant distortion and imparted residual stresses and strains to the welded component or system assembly and down-select welding process parameters with minimal experimental trials. Code 611’s largest welding simulation effort is the “Agile Manufacturing Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) Toolkit” (Agile ICME) program funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR). Code 611 requires purchasing the multi-year renewals of SYSWELD software to continue the support of this multi-year ONR-funded effort, creating an agile ICME toolkit to transform the way the Navy approaches materials-related engineering efforts for schedule and affordability enhancements.

2.0 TASK:

The objective of this contract is to procure the multi-year renewals of the SYSWELD software developed by Engineering Systems International (ESI). Code 611 originally purchased SYSWELD software 10+ years ago and continues to use the software under the Agile ICME program as one of many material process simulation tools being evaluated for use across the Navy Enterprise. Purchase of the multi-year SYSWELD package renewals will maintain continuity of files across the multi-year Agile ICME program. The five-year contract requirement shall include a base year purchase of SYSWELD software, per para. 3.1, with additional four one-year options, per para. 3.2 and 3.3, which will result in extending the license maintenance and support an additional 12 months every year the option is exercised.

3.0 MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS:

3.1 Base year: Renew SYSWELD software with a single-seat, floating network license. This renewal includes software maintenance and support through March 14, 2023 for an 8 Core/2 Job solver with the following modules:

3.2 Options years 1, 2, 3 & 4: Renew SYSWELD software with a single-seat, floating network license. This renewal includes 1-year of software maintenance and support for an 8 Core/2 Job solver with the following modules:

3.3 The SYSWELD software license maintenance and support options shall be completed according to the following schedule:

· Option Year #1: March 15, 2023 to March 14, 2024

· Option Year #2: March 15, 2024 to March 14, 2025

· Option Year #3: March 15, 2025 to March 14, 2026

· Option Year #4: March 15, 2026 to March 14, 2027

4.0 DELIVERY:

Digital download of the software license shall be completed within 15 days of the base and option year contract award. The download of the software will be coordinated by the NSWCCD C/611 TPOC with the awardee.

5.0 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS:

All requirements of this contract are UNCLASSIFIED.
