- Description
- This synopsis is being posted to both the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) page located at http://www.fbo.gov and the Navy Electronic Commerce on Line (NECO) site located at https://www.neco.navy.mil. While it is understood that FBO is the single point of entry for posting of synopsis and solicitations to the Internet, NECO is the alternative in case FBO is unavailable. Please feel free to use either site to access information posted by the Naval Sea Systems Command. Vendors should regularly access the specified websites to ensure they have downloaded any and all amendments. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) requires commercial, off-the-shelf, CST Studio Suite and Microstripes software that is proprietary to CST of America Inc at 10 Laurel Ave Ste 300 Wellesley MA 02481-7537. In accord with the circumstances defined at FAR 6.302-1, the Government intends to award a firm fixed-price order for the required software, non-competitively, to CST of America Inc. The requirement includes (1) quantity 1 each CST Studio Suite, node locked, with subscription to 1 year of maintenance, (2) qty 1 each CST Microstripes for the CST Studio Suite, node locked, and (2) quantity 80 hours of consultation from CST relative to the software and particularly the topside analysis methodologies utilizing the Transmission Line Matrix 3D solver. Non-competitive award is based on unique features of the software. (1) CST's Studio Suite I-Solver utilizes the MLFMM (Multi Level Fast Multipole Method), and while it is not the only CEM (Computational ElectroMagnetic) software to use this method, it is unique in having the Iterative ability. CST I-Solver is also unique in the ability to "link" simulation with sources from other tools, the macro/VBA ability, and the ability to import and "heal" geometry within the GUI. A CST I-Solver simulation can also be directly linked to CST MICROSTRIPES simulation. (2) CST MICROSTRIPES utilizes the TLM (Transmission Line Method), and while it is not the only CEM (Computational ElectroMagnetic) software to use this method, the method of application is unique. CST MICROSTRIPES is unique in the "octree" mesh and "lumping" abilities, and has unique features for modeling a compact source, compact wires and cables, thin films, ferrite tiles, and filling hollow structures with metal. A CST MICROSTRIPES simulation can also be directly linked to CST I-Solver simulation. CST of America Inc does not employ re-sellers to market CST software products. Questions and responses should be submitted, in Microsoft Word format, no later than __2 July 2009__ to DLGR_NSWC_XDS13@NAVY.MIL and should reference this sources sought number: N00178-08-Q-3114. Please include your company CAGE code so we may verify your registration and presence within the Central Contractor Registration database and please provide POC information with your response. This synopsis/notice does not constitute an Invitation for Bids, Request for Proposals, nor a Request for Quotations, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a contract or an order or otherwise pay for the information solicited.
