COMSOL Multiphysics License

The Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division is seeking to procure one perpetual floating network base license for COMSOL Multiphysics software to support the NISE Project focused on producibility of hypersonic structural elements. This software license will enable finite element analysis and advanced engineering computations for rapid analysis of multiphysics phenomena associated with hypersonic applications, allowing one concurrent user at a time. The government intends to award this procurement on a sole source basis to COMSOL, Inc., under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13.106-1(b), structured as a firm fixed-price contract. All quotes and responses must be submitted via email to JaNae Lester at janae.a.lester.civ@us.navy.mil no later than Tuesday, August 26, 2025 at 1:00 PM EST. The evaluation criteria specify that the government will award on a sole source basis, though all interested parties must submit their capabilities and quotes by the deadline for the government to consider other offers.

This solicitation is not designated as a small business set-aside, and the government has identified COMSOL, Inc. as the intended sole source vendor. The contract requires delivery of the software license within 365 calendar days from the date of award, with the period of performance not extending beyond September 30, 2025. The procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers and PSC code 7A21 for IT and Telecom Business Application Software. All deliverables will be sent to Joshua Piccoli at the Air Vehicle Engineering Department located at the Naval Air Warfare Center in Patuxent River, Maryland. Contractors must respond within 10 business days of contract award with detailed deliverable information including part numbers, model numbers, quantities, and expected delivery timeline, with invoicing and payment processed through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF).
