D--EO 14398 - This requirement is for support services USGS Alaska Science Center.The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) plans to award a purchase order to the Alaska Satellite Facility at the University of Alaska for the development of specialized software. The contract will follow the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 12 for acquiring commercial products and services, and simplified acquisition procedures will be applied. This action is justified as a sole-source procurement, given that the Alaska Satellite Facility is believed to be the only entity capable of meeting this requirement. The software to be developed is a specialized script designed to apply radiometric terrain correction to commercial Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery, specifically imagery formatted according to standards set by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and originating from commercial SAR providers like Capella Space, ICEYE, and Umbra. This script must also process Sensor Independent Complex Data from commercial satellite missions managed through the National Reconnaissance Office and tasked by the Civil Applications Committee. The notice serves to comply with FAR Subpart 5.203 and is not a solicitation for competitive bids; however, interested parties may submit capability statements by June 18, 2026, for consideration. No formal solicitation will be issued, and the government retains sole discretion in deciding whether to proceed with competition based on responses. The contracting action is categorized under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers, with the contract oversight conducted by the Office of Acquisition Grants within the Department of the Interior. Electronic submissions are to be sent exclusively to the identified government point of contact by the specified deadline. The contract supports services for the USGS Alaska Science Center, with the contracting office located in Sacramento, California.

The objective is to establish a new contract for Siemens modeling and simulation platform license, featuring advanced process modeling.


FDA's OPQR has a requirement to obtain an advanced lyophilization process modeling and simulation platform to study emerging pharmaceutical manufacturing technologies. For Quoter’s software to be deemed acceptable, the following salient characteristics shall be met:


Lyophilization Modeling Toolbox
• Nonlinear Predictive Control (NL) for Lyophilization: Utilizes a highly parallelized, equation-oriented architecture optimized for high-performance computing (HPC) to perform large-scale, high-fidelity predictive modeling of time-dependent lyophilization cycles.
• Operational Intelligence & Data Integration: Must include a base system (such as XHQ) capable of aggregating and visualizing real-time operational data from multiple manufacturing sources to support "Digital Twin" validation.
• High-Fidelity Dynamic Simulation: Capable of simulating transient process events and complex equipment dynamics—including freezing, primary drying, and secondary drying—using first-principles mathematical equations rather than empirical data.
• Advanced Material & Thermodynamic Property Architecture: Supports the modeling of complex pharmaceutical formulations through comprehensive databases for excipients and APIs to track critical properties like moisture content and chemical purity throughout the stabilization process.
• Automated Global System Analysis (GSA): Built-in mathematical tools to perform parameter estimation from experimental data and Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA) to identify influential process parameters and validate Quality by Design (QbD) design spaces.
• Customizable Modeling Environment & API: Features an open, equation-oriented language for creating custom first-principles models from scratch, complemented by a robust Application Programming Interface (API) for integration with external data systems like Python, Excel, or Electronic Lab Notebooks.
• Scalable Enterprise Access: Supports flexible licensing types including "Named User" for specific researchers and "Small System" base configurations to manage data exchange across physical or virtual assets.
• Regulatory-Grade Maintenance and Support: Provided through a multi-year subscription model that includes continuous software enhancement, technical support, and alignment with established Licensed Software Designation Agreements (LSDA).


Maintenance and Technical Support
At minimum the contractor must:
• Provide support via email and/or web conference.
• Licenses shall include maintenance, support, and any upgrades necessary to maintain the system.
• Provide one day of project support.


Training
The Contractor shall provide:
• Access to online training material in Altair resources
