About this file

This is a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract for annual renewal of COMSOL Multiphysics software licenses for the Naval Post Graduate School. The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center San Diego intends to award a firm fixed price contract to COMSOL, Inc., located at 100 District Ave, Burlington, Massachusetts. The software enables simultaneous modeling of mechanical, electrical, acoustic, thermal, and radio phenomena with emphasis on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and is used across multiple NPS academic departments and curricula. The contracting agency justified the sole source procurement under FAR 13.106(1), citing that COMSOL Multiphysics is proprietary software with educational licensing available exclusively from the manufacturer and not through third-party resellers. The contract includes 45 line items encompassing various license types: one Floating Network License (FNL) supporting one concurrent user with multiple modules, multiple Named Single User Licenses (NSL) for individual users with different module combinations, and one Class Kit License (CKL) supporting 30 concurrent students and teachers. All licenses are for academic use only and valid through April 30, 2026.

Sources interested in challenging this sole source determination must submit capability statements by 3:00 PM Pacific Standard Time on May 1, 2025, to Contract Specialist Brenna Bronder at brenna.m.bronder.civ@us.navy.mil. Capability statements must not exceed six pages (8.5 x 11 inches) with minimum 10-point font and must include management and technical data with cost information demonstrating authorization as a vendor for these services. The anticipated award date is on or before May 24, 2025. Payment will be processed through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF), and personnel cannot cancel or discontinue services until directed by the Government. The applicable NAICS code is 513210 (Software Publishers).

A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES

Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center San Diego (FLCSD) intends to award a firm fixed price contract to COMSOL, Inc., 100 District Ave, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803-5042, United States. Under the authority of FAR 13.106 (1) only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The requirement is for annual renewal of COMSOL Multiphysics software licenses for the Naval Post Graduate School. The software is used for simultaneous modeling of the phenomena including, but not limited to: Mechanical, Electrical, Acoustic, Thermal, Radio, etc. with the focus on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). This software is used by several NPS academic departments and in multiple curricula throughout campus.

COMSOL Multiphysics software is a simultaneous modeling system that allows engineers and researchers to simulate real-world designs, devices, and processes. COMSOL software is proprietary to COMSOL Inc. and Educational licensing is not available for resale through third party resellers. Educational licensing is only available from COMSOL Inc. as confirmed by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The software will be paid for via the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). Personnel cannot cancel or discontinue services until directed by the Government. The anticipated award date of this action is on or before 24 May 2025. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 513210 – Software Publishers.
