- SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS THIS SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT. RESPONSES IN ANY FORM ARE NOT OFFERS AND THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR PREPARATION OF RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY RESPONDENTS TO THIS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY. The Air Force Test Center Specialized Contracting Division (AFTC/PZRA) at Edwards Air Force Base is seeking sources for the Air Force Research Laboratory/ Combustion Devices Branch (AFRL/RQRC). INTRODUCTION: This is a SOURCES SOUGHT to determine the availability of small businesses to provide a required software maintenance license that can fulfill required capabilities. REQUIRED CAPABILITIES: The Air Force Research Laboratories (AFRL/ RQRC) at Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB) in California, requires computer software with maintenance (bug fixes, version upgrades) and technical support, to generate and modify meshes for use in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of advanced combustion device technologies. The simulations are critical to the mission of RQRC combustion technology programs. The mesh generation software is required to (1) create multiblock structured meshes of hexahedral elements, (2) create multiblock unstructured meshes of various element types including hexahedral, tetrahedral and pyramidal, (3) provide the user with fine-grained control over mesh resolution and stretching and over element aspect ratio, (4) import geometries in SolidWorks CAD format, (5) easily create geometries from scratch with integrated CAD capability, (6) generate meshes whose boundaries strictly conform to the imported or created geometries, (7) import and modify meshes in Pointwise format that have already been created by RQRC researchers in the past several years, (8) export meshes in formats accepted by major CFD codes including ANSYS Fluent, CD-Adapco's Star-CCM+ and Metacomp's CFD++, (9) use an advancing front method to reliably extrude boundary layer meshes into the interior volume of the complex topologies encountered in multi-element combustor injectors, and (10) provide a scripting capability to automate parametric mesh generation for a family of combustor or injector geometries that are topologically equivalent. INCUMBENT: Pointwise, Inc. 213 South Jennings Avenue Fort Worth, Texas 76104-1107 Phone: (817) 377-2807 CLIN0001: Pointwise software right to use perpetual license annual maintenance NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE: The anticipated North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) for this requirement is 511210, with the corresponding size standard of $38,500,000.00.
