THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED, AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for commercial items. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-57. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 541590 including Execption 2 for value added resellers. The small business size standard is 150 employees. This acquisition is 100% set-aside for small business. This is a brand name only requirement. Quoters must provide the brand name software identified within the line items. The National Institute of Standards and Technology, Systems Integration Division (SID), is working on a project funded by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), to work with several partners to provide input to a new standard for ambulance patient compartment safety. Project partner, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) uses JACK software, developed and maintains by Siemans, to model human simulations. In order to collaborate with NIOSH and ensure 100% data compatibility with respect to human simulations of ambulance patient compartments, SID needs to acquire JACK software. If NIST were not to purchase this software, models created by NIST would not be readily usable by NIOSH nor would NIST have the ability to collaborate with NIOSH or other partners. Siemans is the only company that develops, maintains, and upgrades JACK software. Siemans software is sold by licensed resellers.
