ProCast Casting Simulation Software

The Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO-PL8321) at Scott Air Force Base is seeking to procure ProCAST casting simulation software through a sole-source procurement with ESI North America, Inc. The solicitation is authorized under 10 USC 2304(c)(1), which allows for a non-competitive acquisition when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. Interested parties have until April 14, 2025, to submit evidence of their capability and authorized reseller status, though the government retains sole discretion in evaluating responses. Potential vendors can submit correspondence via email to betty.a.burris4.civ@mail.mil, with the expectation of providing clear documentation within three days of the notice's posting. The procurement aims to secure software licenses that enable complex analysis and design of propeller castings, with specific requirements for material databases and translation capabilities.

The contract is not set aside for any specific business category, though the RFQ indicates a small business size standard of $47 million under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers. The estimated total value of the procurement is approximately $564,420, covering a base period and one option year of software licensing. The software package includes a Flex Package with 110 tokens, additional tokens, InterOp translators, and material databases for aluminum, iron, nickel, and copper, with site LAN licensing and standard support. Delivery will be to Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, VA, with software licenses effective from the award date through March 24, 2027, including a potential option year. The place of performance is Scott AFB, IL 62225, and the procurement will utilize Fiscal Year 2025 Navy operation and maintenance funds.
