About this opportunity
NASA's National Shared Services Center (NSSC) is seeking to procure a 12-month Comsol software license renewal for the Goddard Space Flight Center. The procurement is intended to be a sole source contract with Comsol, Inc. under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), recognizing the company as the sole provider of this specialized engineering tool. The software is critical for NASA's development, analysis, and simulation of processing systems, particularly instrument signal processing, with potential project delays if licensing is not promptly renewed. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing by 11:59 a.m. EST on February 7, 2025, with the government reserving sole discretion to determine whether to pursue full and open competition. Responses will be evaluated solely to assess competitive procurement potential, and oral communications are not acceptable.
The opportunity is set aside for total small business participation and involves renewing multiple floating network licenses for Comsol Multiphysics software. The specific license renewal includes 4 Floating Network Licenses for COMSOL Multiphysics and additional module licenses such as AC/DC, MEMS, RF, and Structural Mechanics modules, among others. While no specific award value is mentioned, the licenses will extend through April 30, 2026, with remote delivery of services. The procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers and will be managed by NASA/NSSC, with performance located at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The contract aims to ensure continuous access to technical support directly from the manufacturer and prevent potential disruptions to time-critical NASA projects.
