AI Contract Overview

The Naval Medical Logistics Command plans to award a sole source contract valued at approximately $35,970 to COMSOL, Inc. for a specialized multiphysics software program intended for use at the Naval Medical Research Unit San Antonio (NAMRU-SA). This software will be installed on the Air Force’s Beowulf cluster at NAMRU-SA's Tri-Service Research Laboratory in Fort Sam Houston. The software’s primary function is to model the complex physical processes involved in mercury and dental amalgam retention through fiber filters, supporting ongoing efforts to enhance performance and mercury abatement in compliance with current and future Naval and Environmental Protection Agency regulations. The software must provide capabilities such as modeling porous/reactive media, a CAD import module, a chemical reaction module, and allow for unlimited concurrent processor use during simulations. The Government identified COMSOL as the sole provider capable of meeting these stringent requirements after conducting market research and outreach. This procurement will proceed under FAR 6.302-1 sole source authority, and no competitive solicitation exists. Interested parties may still submit capability statements with technical and cost data by the specified deadline; however, any decision to open competition remains at the Government’s discretion. All submissions are to be sent via email in Word or PDF format to the designated contact before 5:00 PM Eastern Time on April 12, 2012, for consideration solely to assess whether to initiate a competitive process.

Full Description

The Naval Medical Logistics Command (NMLC) intends to award a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 to COMSOL, Inc.; Burlington, MA 01803, for the delivery of research and development (R&D) equipment, in support of the Naval Medical Research Unit San Antonio (NAMRU-SA). This requirement is for is for a multiphysics software program that will be installed on the Air Force’s Beowulf cluster located at the Naval Medical Research Unit San Antonio, Tri-Service Research Laboratory, Fort Sam Houston and will satisfy Joint military efforts presently advocated by the Department of Defense. The software program will model the complex physics involved in mercury and dental amalgam retention through a fiber filter, to aid efforts to improve the performance and retention of mercury and dental amalgam, in order to, satisfy present and future Naval and Environmental Protection Agency requirements for mercury abatement. The estimated value of the contract is $35,970.00. The required multiphysics software program consists of the following capabilities: Enables modeling porous/reactive media; CAD file import module; and Chemical Reaction Module. The Government also requires no restrictions on the number of concurrent processors a software program can use during a simulation or calculation. Through internet market research and contacting companies by phone, COMSOL is the only company identified that can provide all these necessary capabilities.
