About the company
Pointwise, Inc. is a software company specializing in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) mesh generation tools for engineering analysis and design. The company provides proprietary CFD preprocessing software, maintenance, and technical support services to various federal agencies, primarily through contracts with NASA and the Department of Defense. Pointwise's flagship product is its eponymous Pointwise software suite, which enables engineers to create high-quality meshes for simulating fluid flow around complex geometries. Based in Fort Worth, Texas, Pointwise was acquired by Cadence Design Systems, Inc. in 2021 but continues to operate as a division under the Pointwise brand.
Through its federal contract awards, Pointwise has supplied software licenses, renewals, maintenance, and technical support for its CFD mesh generation tools to agencies including NASA, the Air Force, Navy, Army, Missile Defense Agency, and Federal Aviation Administration. The company's software supports aerospace engineering, aeronautics research, missile development, and aircraft certification activities. Notable contracts include multi-year, agency-wide license renewals for NASA valued at several hundred thousand dollars annually. Pointwise has also received smaller purchase orders from various defense and civilian agencies for individual licenses or maintenance renewals. While most awards are as a prime contractor, Pointwise has served as a subcontractor on some Department of Defense contracts related to missile and aviation platform modeling. The majority of Pointwise's federal awards do not carry set-aside designations.
Pointwise holds a $2.5 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the NASA Shared Services Center, effective from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2024. This BPA covers Pointwise software products and associated support services, facilitating streamlined procurement of the company's CFD tools across NASA centers and programs. Multiple BPA calls have been issued under this vehicle for agency-wide software renewals, individual center licenses, and technical support services. The BPA enables NASA to efficiently access Pointwise's mesh generation capabilities to support various aeronautics and spaceflight engineering projects. While the NASA Shared Services Center administers the BPA, it allows task orders to be placed on behalf of different NASA facilities and research programs requiring Pointwise's CFD preprocessing software.
