Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Software Licensing – Core Simulation Module

The contract targets the procurement and licensing of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Power Session software specifically for naval hydrodynamic modeling applications, with an emphasis on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations critical to naval vessel design and analysis. This subcontract, set aside entirely for small businesses under the SBA’s total small business set-aside program, requires the vendor to deliver the core simulation module along with comprehensive installation support and ongoing license management to ensure seamless integration into existing naval research environments at theNSWC Carderock facility in Bethesda. The software must support high-fidelity modeling of fluid flow, wave interactions, and other hydrodynamic phenomena under rigorous operational conditions. The contract was posted on July 21, 2026, with responses due by July 28, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 511210 for software publishing. While the agency’s physical address and point of contact details are not provided, performance is mandated to occur at the NSWC Carderock location, underscoring the operational importance of the software for defense-related hydrodynamic research. The vendor must ensure full compliance with federal procurement standards, maintain active license oversight, and provide necessary technical assistance to enable continuous and secure use of the simulation tools within the Department of Defense’s research infrastructure.
