Modeling and Simulation for Physical Security Systems

The contract seeks the development and validation of digital models to simulate blast effects, vehicle dynamics, and structural response under extreme conditions using industry-standard simulation tools such as LS-DYNA and ANSYS. The work is intended to support physical security systems by providing accurate, validated computational representations that can inform design, threat assessment, and protective measures. The project requires expertise in high-fidelity nonlinear dynamics, material behavior under high strain rates, and multi-physics coupling to ensure the models accurately reflect real-world physical phenomena. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541620, indicating it falls within the category of scientific and technical consulting services. It is managed by the Department of State through Acquisitions - Aqm Momentum, with performance expected to occur in Springfield, 22153. The solicitation was posted on May 12, 2026, and responses are due by June 8, 2026, by 9:00 PM. There is no specified set-aside designation, and no point of contact information has been provided in the posting. The work must be completed in alignment with the government’s physical security objectives, with deliverables including validated simulation outputs and supporting documentation demonstrating reliability and reproducibility under varied threat scenarios.
