- Subject: COMSOL Sole Source Notice of Intent Reference Number: NB184000-12-000958 Notice Type: Special Notice- Notice of Intent Synopsis: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the NIST Office of Information Systems Management (OISM), intends to negotiate with COMSOL, Inc., on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b), Soliciting from a Single Source, to purchase COMSOL, Inc.'s COMSOL Multiphysics licenses. NIST's OISM has a requirement for software that allows coupling together of different material domains, for example, RF/microwave, thermal, mechanical, and fluidic. This coupling actions of responses from the different domains need to be considered to accurately predict/understand the material properties of interest, whether these are mechanical, thermal, or electrical. It also allows for simulation of fluid flow in microfluidic circuits, and the coupling of fluid flow in microfluidic circuits to the above-mentioned domains. There is a demand for this type of software at both NIST Gaithersburg and Boulder locations. COMSOL provides the simulation software for solving partial differential equations using a finite-element approach. It is implemented as a base package with a number of application-specific optional modules that can be added on. This allows that simulations from different traditional "domains" can be coupled together, for example, RF/microwave, thermal, mechanical, fluidic. The NAICS Code is 511210 with a Size Standard of $25.0 million. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to COMSOL, Inc. for this requirement. Interested parties that believe they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST may clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before the response date for this notice. This notice of intent is not a solicitation. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to Willie Lu at willie.lu@nist.gov. All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted so that they are received at willie.lu@nist.gov no later than January 13, 2012 at 2:00 pm Eastern Time. Contracting Office Address: 100 Bureau Drive, Building 301, Room B129, Mail Stop 1640 Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899-1640 Place of Performance: 100 Bureau Drive Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899 Primary Point of Contact: Willie Lu, Contract Specialist Willie.lu@nist.gov Phone: 301-975-8259
