NextGen Simulation Software License and Maintenance

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission seeks to procure a license and maintenance agreement for the NextGen pipeline simulation software from Gregg Engineering to conduct engineering analysis of natural gas and hydropower project proposals. The firm-fixed price contract would include 13 annual user licenses for the software along with support and maintenance for one base year and four option years. Proposals are due by September 17, 2021 and will be evaluated based on technical qualifications, past performance, and price.

This requirement has no set-aside designations. The primary NAICS code is 541511 and PSC code D302. Gregg Engineering is the incumbent and sole provider able to meet the requirement. The total anticipated value over the five-year period is $603,039.77 to be performed in Washington, D.C. where the Commission is located. Renewing this license supports the agency's ability to efficiently review over 50% of regulated pipeline certificates and applications using a format compatible with the existing system models.
