About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture intends to contract with Flow Science, Inc. on a sole source basis for Flow-3D Hydro Software and Annual Maintenance. The software must be capable of modeling air entrainment, sediment scour and transport, tailings flows, and 2D/3D hybrid modeling using true volume of fluid methodology. It must be able to read and write data in flsgrf, EXODUS II, or both formats, and utilize multiple turbulence models. The software must include visualization post-processing and natively support GeoTIFF terrain data. A unified solver for local workstations and high-performance computing is required. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government by the response time provided.
This is not a set-aside opportunity. Flow Science, Inc. is the sole developer and seller of this specialized software, and stakeholders including other federal agencies consider it the "gold standard" for evaluating hydraulic structures like dams and levees. The anticipated period of performance is 08/15/2024 - 08/14/2029, and the government has determined that Flow Science, Inc. is the only reasonably available source to meet the requirement.
