Siemens Software Licenses

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division is procuring Siemens software licenses through a sole-source, Firm-Fixed Price Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (FFP-IDIQ) contract. The procurement includes fifteen line items covering Simcenter STAR-CCM+ variants, HEEDS Bundle, Simcenter Amesim modules with thermal and aerospace libraries, NX Design products, Simcenter 3D products, and Simcenter Nastran Basic, with quantities ranging from 5 to 30 units per line item. Offerors must submit five-year pricing through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) system and provide proof of authorized Siemens distributorship along with responses to two technical scenarios addressing software licensing issues and CFD simulation support. Evaluation will be based on proof of authorized distributorship, technical scenario responses, and price, with non-price factors being significantly more important than price. The proposal submission deadline is March 18, 2026, at 4:00 PM local time, with the government accepting vendor questions through March 12, 2026, and an anticipated award date in March 2026.

This procurement does not utilize a set-aside designation and represents a sole-source acquisition for Siemens software licenses authorized under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), with no identified incumbents but rather a continuation of the government's existing use of Siemens software. The contract will run for five years from March 31, 2026, through March 30, 2031, with orders anticipated on a yearly basis, subject to a minimum order quantity of 25 units and maximum of 200 units per order. Performance will take place at the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division in China Lake, California, where all deliverables, including updated license files and installation materials for Windows and Linux systems, must be delivered. The government requires technical support and maintenance services throughout the contract period, including troubleshooting and software updates via phone, virtual, or email correspondence to Navy personnel and system administrators. All proposals must be submitted electronically through PIEE, and offerors must acknowledge receipt of solicitation amendments prior to the March 18, 2026, deadline to avoid offer rejection.
