About this file
This document is a NASA Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name form for a Micro Focus license renewal. Marshall Space Flight Center requires a license renewal for Micro Focus, with the period of performance from 09/01/2025 to 08/31/2026. The justification for sole source procurement is based on the unique requirements of the existing NASA firewall management/analysis solution hardware, where replacing the current system with alternatives would incur substantial resource cost offsets.
The technical user from the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) recommends negotiating only with Micro Focus (US) Inc. for the FY25 MICRO FOCUS KSC WP 675 LEGATE Purchase. The rationale emphasizes that the original equipment manufacturer is the only service provider capable of delivering the necessary technical support, software updates, and hardware replacement. The document explicitly states that no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency's requirements at this time, justifying the single-source procurement approach.

OR BRAND NAME
PICK ONE
Sole Source:
☐I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with Vendor Name only for Web of .
The total estimated cost of this effort is Enter Dollar amount and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is Date.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject band name from Micro Focus (US) Inc. for the FY25 MICRO FOCUS KSC WP 675 LEGATE Purchase. The period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 09/01/2025-08/31/2026.
This recommendation is for the acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available from only one source/only one manufacture. Competition is impractical for the following reasons (please answer the questions below):
1. What are the reasons for soliciting only the suggested source/suggested brand name? Please provide the unique characteristics of the items or services along with the supporting rationale and the market research performed to substantiate your reason for the suggested source/brand name.
Marshall Space Flight Center has a requirement for the Microfocus license renewal. The service provider of technical support/software updates/hardware replacement is the original equipment manufacturer, Microfocus. There would be substantial resource cost offsets required to replace the existing NASA firewall management/analysis solution hardware with comparable alternatives. As such, no other supplies or services will satisfy the Agency’s requirements at this time.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
If we were to deviate from this brand, there would be substantial resource cost offsets required to replace the existing NASA firewall management/analysis solution hardware with comparable alternatives. As such, no other supplies or services will satisfy the Agency’s requirements at this time.
