The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for Siemens Virtual Lab Software. The software provided by Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. is a unique purpose solver for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Boundary Element Analysis (BEA) used to accurately predict how Navy designs and components will behave in their intended environments. The NAICS code is 511210 and the business size is $38.5 Million. The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. The proposed action is for software to provide FEA and BEA analysis of Navy designed components, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The basis for restricting competition is for the following reasons: Siemens Government Technologies Inc. is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the only software package, Virtual Lab Software, that can perform processing of both FEA and BEA models in the same software/database. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 28 March 2019. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by 03/28/2019, will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Inquiries should be directed to James Valiga at james.valiga@navy.mil.
