The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking renewal of maintenance and support services for its existing Sonnet software licenses. This high-frequency planar electromagnetic (EM) simulation software is a critical tool utilized across multiple NIST laboratories and is deeply integrated into the organization’s enterprise IT architecture.

The required services include additional software license maintenance, security upgrades, and comprehensive technical support for the Sonnet software packages currently in use at NIST. Continued access to these services is vital for ongoing research activities and technical operations.

Replacing the Sonnet platform with an alternative solution would involve significant additional costs for new licenses, extensive retraining of personnel, and the need to rewrite existing code, making continued support from Sonnet Software the most practical and cost-effective option for NIST.
