Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy / Fleet Readiness Center has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract to ANSYS, INC. for the renewal of Ansys Granta and Minerva Software Licenses. This requirement supports the Commander, Fleet Readiness Center (COMFRC) Headquarters (HQ) Digital Group for Aviation Product Lifecycle Management (AvPLM). The Government intends to purchase these licenses on a firm fixed-price basis.
Scope of Work
This requirement is for the renewal of Ansys Granta and Minerva Software Licenses.
