- Description
- SYNOPSIS: The National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) hereby provides notice of its intent to award a sole-source, firm fixed price contract to COMSOL, Inc., 1 New England Executive Park, Suite 350, Burlington, MA 01803-5001. The contract is expected to be awarded under FAR 6.302-1. A Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition has been prepared. The period of performance for this effort is 12 months from date of award. The contract will be in support of NIST's Office of Information Systems Management (OISM) to renew the COMSOL Multiphysics Simulation Software License and Modules. The COMSOL, Inc. Multiphysics Simulation Software License is a patented product and is only available for distribution in the territory of the United States by COMSOL, Inc. Continued use of and access to the Simulation Software License and modules will allow NIST researchers to create simulations for solving partial differential equations using a finite-element approach. A loss of access would stop progress and NIST researchers would not be able to complete in-progress work. Preliminary market research resulted in the determination that COMSOL, Inc. is the sole provider, with no resellers, of the Multiphysics Simulation Software License and Modules. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. All responsible sources may submit an offer; however, only services meeting NIST's requirements will be considered for award. NIST will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this notice of intent. Only written responses will be considered. As a result of analyzing responses to this notice of intent, the Government shall determine whether a solicitation will be issued. Any prospective contractor must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) in order to be eligible for award. Information concerning SAM registered requirements may be viewed via the Internet at http://sam.gov. INSTRUCTIONS: All interested parties shall submit clear and convincing documentation demonstrating their capabilities to satisfy the requirements listed above to Chantel Adams by email at chantel.adams@nist.gov no later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, February 5, 2015. Fax inquiries will not be accepted. The capability documentation should include general information and technical background describing in detail the prospective contractor's capabilities and experience that will demonstrate the ability to support these requirements.
