Small Business Set-Aside for Ennova Software License

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is procuring two ENNOVA Software Licenses for a 12-month period to establish a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Lab at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division. The software will enable mechanical engineers to perform high-end fluid flow analysis and enhanced fracture and fatigue crack growth analysis using computational fluid dynamics capabilities, particularly when integrated with OpenFOAM. Vendors must submit email quotes on company letterhead by Monday, August 4, 2025, at 11:00 AM Central Time, including their CAGE code, lead time, and confirmation of ability to invoice through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). Award will be based on best value evaluation considering pricing, delivery, quality, and past performance factors. The government requires complete quotes with shipping costs included as a separate line item if applicable, and will not accept partial, incomplete, or late submissions.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, restricting participation to qualified small business vendors under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers. The contract value falls under the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000, indicating a relatively modest procurement size despite the specialized nature of the software requirement. The solicitation specifies a quantity of two software licenses for the 12-month licensing period, with NET 30 days payment terms upon delivery. Performance will take place in Panama City Beach, Florida, where the Naval Surface Warfare Center facility is located. The brand name justification indicates that ENNOVA CFD is the only software meeting the government's specific computational fluid dynamics and analysis requirements, suggesting this is a sole-source brand name procurement within the small business set-aside framework.
