Combined Synopsis.pdf

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUES THE ONLY

NOTICE THAT WILL BE ISSUED.

This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6-Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. In accordance with FAR 5.203(a)(2), this solicitation will be posted for less than fifteen (15) days.

Request for Quote (RFQ) Number is N66604-24-Q-0681.

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price Type purchase order to DS GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS CORP on a Sole Source basis in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b). Dassault Systemes (DS), its subsidiaries, and immixTechnology are the only known sources that can provide the below Abaqus Software Licenses and Maintenance on an authorized reseller basis. Furthermore, per DS’ policy, only one quote can be offered through their sales channel and would not allow a competitive quote from a reseller.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

ABAQUS is a software product supporting Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).

Engineering teams use this tool to retain the value of existing intellectual property and research efforts. The software enables inclusion of existing simulation results directly in a subsequent analysis.

Navy labs began using Abaqus as a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) suite over 25 years ago. The models built with the Abaqus tool over the years with NUWC are not portable to similar products. In the event another product were selected, the models required for Fleet Support and design would not be able to be recovered and would be lost, which would be unacceptable.

The effort required to create capable models in a similar tool would result in excessive re-work and cost to the Government in the form of funds lost and delays to the Fleet that would adversely affect the warfighter.

See the table below for a list of the required Abaqus Software and Maintenance, no substitution items:
