The state of Indiana is seeking information from vendors regarding engineering and scientific software applications capable of supporting a wide range of technical needs. The desired solutions should enable advanced data analysis, algorithm development, and modeling across multiple disciplines, including mechanical, electrical, and control systems.

The state is interested in software that streamlines the implementation and acquisition process, supports users through typical learning curves, and provides robust visualization tools such as plots and graphs for effective communication. Additionally, the software should facilitate the creation of virtual prototypes, simulation of designs, and validation processes to enhance efficiencies and reduce both development time and costs.

Ideal solutions will also have the capability to generate production-quality code in widely used languages such as C, C++, CUDA, Verilog, and VHDL, suitable for deployment to embedded systems. Further, applications that support iterative development practices—including simulation, automated testing, and continuous integration—are of particular interest.
