AI Contract Overview

The United States Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory plans to award a sole source contract to Kongsberg Maritime Simulation Inc. for research support involving hydrodynamic numerical modeling of vessels for navigation studies. Kongsberg Maritime Simulation developed the proprietary hydrodynamic code essential to simulating ship movements, a critical component of ERDC-CHL’s vessel simulators. Since Kongsberg owns the rights and all copies of this software, which is only supplied to the government in a compiled form, they are uniquely positioned to provide necessary services such as modifications, troubleshooting, and upgrades. This acquisition will proceed under a sole source authority in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b) due to the proprietary nature of the software, with procurement conducted as a commercial acquisition under FAR 12 procedures. No competitive solicitation has been issued, but interested parties may submit capability statements or quotations for consideration by the stated deadline. The contract supports ERDC-CHL’s ongoing research efforts in vessel navigation simulation through Kongsberg’s specialized hydrodynamic modeling expertise.

Full Description

USACE, Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Contracting Office intends to issue a sole source award to Kongsberg Maritime Simulation Inc., 70 Essex Street, Mystic, CT 06355-3315 for research support to the United States Army Engineer Research and Development Center - Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (ERDC-CHL) in the area of hydrodynamic numerical modeling of vessels (ships, boats, and tows) for navigation studies. Kongsberg Maritime Simulation, Inc. developed the hydrodynamic code that calculates ship movement in response to forces acting upon the ship. This is the most critical element of the simulators. Kongsberg Maritime Simulation, Inc. owns the rights to the software and holds all copies of the hydrodynamic code; the software included with CHL's simulators is in a compiled form. The code is required to modify, troubleshoot, or upgrade the software. Therefore Kongsberg Maritime Simulation, Inc. is the only company that can provide the required services due to its proprietary nature. The Government intends to procure from only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b), Only One Source. This will be a commercial acquisition using procedures per FAR 12. This is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is available. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation to the Contract Specialist by 11:00 AM CST, Friday, May 6, 2011. Interested parties may submit information for consideration by the government to: contact@example.gov
