The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), has a need to ensure the licenses are renewed on-time for OISM to provide scientific software services to the NIST community. Background: NIST computing Infrastructure supports a number of commercial scientific and mathematical computing software that are centrally managed by OISM. These scientific applications require annual license maintenance, technical support, and product upgrade on site. NIST has been using the ESI CFD-ACE plus software for at least the last 8 years. Purpose and Objectives of the Procurement: The purpose of the contract is to: Provide NIST with an ESI CFD-ACE plus software license and maintenance renewal, which gives NIST the right to continue using the software for one year. Provide technical support during the period of performance, Provide upgrades and enhancements-fixes during the period of performance. ESI Group is the copyright holder and sole source for maintenance and support of the ESI-CFD scientific software product. The current ESI CFD-ACE plus software products are critical to the success of NIST researchers and their work. The institutional knowledge that has been built using this product all these years will be extremely difficult to replace. Without the continued maintenance renewal, the important research work will be interrupted. North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code, for this acquisition is 511210 software publishers and the size standard is $35.5 in millions of dollars. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for quotations. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to ESI North America for this requirement, for a period of performance of one year. Interested parties that believe they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST to provide the renewal maintenance may clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before November 11, 2014 at 1 pm EST. 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.
