AI Contract Overview
The Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory intends to award a sole source purchase order to Synopsys+Ansys for the annual ANSYS Technology Pool Software, valued at $47 million, under authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901 and the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul. The software is essential for creating simulation geometries, meshing with ANSYS CFD PrepPost, running high-performance computing simulations using FLUENT solvers, and post-processing results, as well as enabling digital twin development for coal utilization and cybersecurity applications. NETL has relied on this specific software for over a decade and maintains an extensive library of legacy models and user-defined functions that are incompatible with any other platform, necessitating continued use of ANSYS to ensure operational continuity and data integrity. Market research confirms Synopsys+Ansys is the sole authorized provider capable of fulfilling these requirements, justifying the sole source approach under commercial acquisition rules. This notice is not a solicitation for proposals, but a public opportunity for other potential providers to demonstrate their capability to meet NETL’s needs by submitting written evidence by 3:00 PM EDT on August 7, 2026, to contract specialist Anissa Beasinger at anissa.beasinger@netl.doe.gov. Telephone submissions will not be accepted, and any response must clearly establish technical and contractual ability to deliver the exact software functionality currently provided by Synopsys+Ansys. The Government retains full discretion to proceed with sole source award regardless of responses received, and all submissions will be evaluated solely to determine if competition is feasible. The contract will be performed from NETL’s office in Morgantown, West Virginia, under NAICS code 513210 for software publishing, and the official solicitation reference is 89243326NFE000246.
