This procurement, under solicitation number 6913G625Q300042, is necessary to support critical engineering projects focused on rail equipment crashworthiness and occupant protection. The software is uniquely capable of modeling specific anthropomorphic test devices required to comply with APTA industry safety standards PR-CS-S-016 and PR-CS-S-018, and Ansys is the exclusive provider of the required maintenance. The anticipated award date is June 24, 2025, with a period of performance extending from the date of award through June 11, 2026.
