Description

NASA/LaRC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the purchase of IFEM's CFD and Atilla software package and annual maintenance. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/LaRC intends to purchase the items from ICEM CFD Engineering of Richmond, WA as the only known responsible source who can meet agency requirements. ICEM CFD is the only known firm with a commercialization agreement for the Atilla program developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). ICEM has integrated Attila into their ICEM tetrahedral mesh generator. NASA LaRC and LANL are jointly investigating the use of CFD and Attila to model space radiations. As such, ICEM CFD is the only known source who can meet agency requirements. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on April 26, 2001. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
