Siemens Simcenter Flomaster Fluid System & Dynamic AP SW Renewal FY25

NASA Shared Services Center is seeking to procure Siemens Simcenter Flomaster software license renewals for NASA Stennis Space Center's rocket propulsion test engineering support. The solicitation is specifically for two licenses each of Siemens Simcenter Flomaster Dynamic AP Software and Siemens Simcenter Flomaster Fluid Systems AP Software, which are critical for ongoing test projects. This is a brand name requirement that strictly requires authorized Siemens resellers to submit quotes, with submissions due by February 25, 2025 at 7:00 AM CT to Shanna Patterson. Vendors must be registered in SAM.gov and include their CAGE/UEI code, delivery leadtime, and point of contact information. The contract will be awarded using a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, with two mandatory telecommunications provisions (52.204-24 and 52.204-26) that must be completed for quote eligibility. Potential bidders must submit any questions by February 21, 2025 at 7:00 AM CT.

The solicitation is set aside exclusively for small businesses and will utilize NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers. The period of performance runs from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, with work to be performed at NASA Stennis Space Center in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. NASA has been using Flomaster software since 2008 and determined that switching to alternative software would result in significant operational disruptions, including a year-long learning curve and potential 25-50% increases in man-hours for analysis. The current procurement is for software associated with a specific Server Host ID (005056984ABB), indicating a precise technical requirement. While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the justification document emphasizes that renewing the existing Flomaster licenses represents the best value for the government due to continuity of operations and minimal transition costs.
