Description
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is soliciting a sole-source procurement for Pointwise software and support from Cadence Design Systems, Inc. The software is required for the design and development of submarine maneuvering simulation software, and the support must be purchased to meet project schedules. The estimated price for the procurement is not specified, but the previous purchase order was N0016724P0087. The NAICS code for this procurement is 513210, and the business size is $47 million.
• The software is used to generate three-dimensional body-fitted meshes for Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations.
• The software is integrated with submarine Maneuvering and Control Simulation (MCSIM) tool.
• There is no other commercial software compatible with Pointwise.
• The acquisition and implementation of an alternative set of software tools would not be cost-effective and feasible.
