The US Bureau of Reclamation, Denver Office, Acquisitions Operations Group is performing a market survey to determine if there are an adequate number of interested and qualified firms having the capability to complete the work related to using Perfectly Matched Layers (PML) in LS-DYNA finite element analysis. The Dam Safety Office at the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) is undergoing research, "Correct Earthquake Application in Finite Element Modeling", to determine the correct way to apply earthquake motions in explicit LS-DYNA finite element analyses and has funded a related research project to develop a better nonreflecting boundary using Perfectly Matched Layers in LS-DYNA. The project is to merge all findings together and have Reclamation use the Perfectly Matched Layers technique. In addition, the project relies on the experience in developing spatially varying ground motions in program EACD3D208.

The applicable North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) is 541330 and the related small business size standard is $1 million or less.
