Description

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport intends to award a Firm Fixed Price Contract on a Sole Source basis to Structural Dynamics Research Corp. (SDRC), Milford, OH 45150 for renewal of maintenance and support for EDS I-DEAS software. The Government plans to issue a request for written quote to Structural Dynamics Research Corporation using FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13. The anticipated award date is 28 Dec 01. This action is being processed on a Sole Source basis due to the fact that Structural Dynamics Research Corporation is the only vendor that can provide the desired services because they are the sole developer of this proprietary software. SDRC is the only company that has the existing technical expertise to provide desired comprehensive maintenance service. The maintenance and support contract must include the following: (1) Updates and extensions to the I-DEAS software to maintain state-of-the-art engineering design and finite element modeling and analysis capability as well as an industry wide compatibility with other CAD installations; (2) Documentation updates to reflect software enhancements and application guidance; (3) A hot-line telephone system staffed by engineers experienced with I-DEAS and capable of answering specific questions about program capabilities and function as well as assisting users in applying I-DEAS to specific engineering design problems. Any Company that believes it has the capability to meet the Government's minimum requirements is invited to submit a quote for Government evaluation. The vendor must be an authorized SDRC maintenance and repair facility in order to obtain parts, provide technical support and software upgrades. Replacement parts must be SDRC parts. All proposals from responsible sources will be considered. Telephone requests will not be honored. Our department no longer issues solicitations or amendments in paper form.
