SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center in Cambridge, MA is seeking the renewal of two licenses for NUCARS simulation software. This software is essential for supporting the Federal Railroad Administration in rail dynamics studies, as it is the only validated package capable of accurately predicting the nonlinear dynamic response of North American railroads under various track conditions.
NUCARS is proprietary to the Association of American Railroads and is required to ensure continuity with decades of rail dynamics simulation work previously conducted by the Volpe Center. As part of this procurement, a sole source purchase order will be issued to Transportation Technology Center, Inc., doing business as MxV Rail Software Products. This opportunity falls under NAICS code 541519.
