- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. This is not a solicitation or request for proposal and no contract will be awarded from this notice. No solicitation, draft Statement of Objectives is available at this time. Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) supports the mission of the DoD High Performance Computing Modernization Program (DoD HPCMP) Computing Modernization Program for Computational Research and Engineering Acquisition Tools and Environments (CREATE) Air Vehicles. This Sources Sought is for firms with the capability to provide research and development (R&D) in support of DoD HPCMP CREATE Air Vehicles. Within this program, the Kestrel aircraft simulation tool with fixed wing, and Firebolt Airframe Propulsion Integration modules, under NAICS Code 541712, furthers software development. Firms capable of providing services that encompass research into methods of modeling aircraft aerodynamics, propulsion, structural dynamics, and kenetics, as well as software development of modules to plug into the Kestrel software product, and software development of pre-processing, post-processing, and case management modules should respond to this Sources Sought with their firm's capability statements and fully developed responses (capabilities package) to the questions posted in this Sources Sought. Further, the Government requests feedback regarding the attached draft Statement of Work (SOW). Feedback on the draft provides valuable feedback in the development and refinement of this SOW. Submission of a capabilities package is not a prerequisite to any potential future offerings, but participation will assist the Government in tailoring requirement to be consistent with industry. A Sources Sought is a market research tool used to: determine the availability and adequacy of industry sources to support R&D efforts; to determine the method of acquisition; and subsequent issuance of a Request for Proposal. The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this synopsis. Responses are due not later than 25 Apr 2017, 2:00 pm Central Standard Time. Responses/Capability packages shall be sent to miriam.james@us.af.mil. Firms may also submit hard copy capabilities packages to the address listed within this Sources Sought. Fax submissions of capabilities packages will not be accepted. Questions or comments regarding this notices may be address to Miriam James at miriam.james@us.af.mil. ******************************************************** 1. Describe your firm's familiarity with the CREATE-AV/Kestrel product and its internal architecture and source code. 2. Describe your firm's experience and abilities as it relates to developing and incorporating production capabilities to the CREATE-AV/Kestrel product in the following subject areas: fluid structure interaction, turbulent transition, conjugate heat transfer, equilibrium and non-equilibrium chemistry, thermal property models, multi-species flows, aero-acoustics, aerodynamic stability & control, turbine engine fan aeromechanics and afterburner stability, and reduced-order modeling, among others. 3. Describe your firm's background in working within the Defense Supercomputing Resource Center environment and network. 4. Describe your firm's experience and abilities regarding the maintenance, distribution, and support of high-volume (> 600 active users) physics-based software on massively-parallel computing clusters, both within the Defense Supercomputer Resource Center environment as well as at contractor/OEM facilities. 5. Describe your firm's experience and abilities as it relates to developing and maintaining tools and capabilities associated with the execution and maintenance of many-language, parallel software in a shared/distributed memory environment with an emphasis on emerging many-integrated-core (MIC) architectures. 6. Describe your firm's familiarity with the high-fidelity, multi-physics simulation requirements of current and future DoD acquisition programs. 7. Describe your firm's background in multi-physics simulation applications and tool development to include details on the formal software development process and internal source code architecture utilized.
