About this file
This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name for the procurement of Posit Team Bundle software. NASA Shared Services Center is recommending a sole source award to Posit Software, PBC for the Posit Team Bundle software. The total estimated cost is undisclosed, with a period of performance from 07/03/2024 to 07/02/2025. The justification is that the Posit Team Bundle is currently in use by NASA's HR office and is relied upon for critical work in support of NASA's DEIA plan and AI strategy. Continuity of the Posit software is required to maintain data analysis and interoperability with the Enterprise Data Platform. Failure to renew the Posit Team Bundle license would significantly impact deliverables and schedules for NASA's DEIA and AI strategy initiatives.
The related federal contract opportunity is a Special Notice for the Posit Team Bundle Renewal, solicitation number 80NSSC24874282Q, issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center. This is a sole source requirement for the Posit Team Bundle renewal.

NASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER
RECOMMENDATION AND DETERMINATION TO SOLICIT FROM ONE SOURCE
OR BRAND NAME
PICK ONE
Sole Source:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with Posit Software, PBC only for
Posit Team Bundle . The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 07/03/2024 – 07/02/2025.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☐I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from Manufacture Name for Product being purchased . The total estimated cost of this effort is $Dollar Amount and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is Date .
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.
The Posit Team Bundle is currently in use by NASA’s HR office where it is relied upon as the active repository aligned to critical work in support of the NASA DEIA plan and AI strategy. Additionally, the base content already created and curated is reliant upon the requested software for continued inquiry. On-going HR data investigation, curation and extraction requires continuity of Posit Team Bundle to meet
Agency milestones. Furthermore, the HR reliance on the continued use of the software feeds into the interoperability planning for engagement with the Enterprise Data Platform (EDP).
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Failure to renew the Posit Team Bundle license would significantly impact deliverables and schedules for
NASA’s response to the DEIA and AI strategy. Continuity of the product facilitates ongoing compatibility with emerging systems and is an integral product for uninterrupted data analysis. The requested product is essential in maintaining analytics continuity for established baselines and comparison of results in research. If another product or vendor is used it would create inconsistency in data analysis and the research would be flawed. Deliverables would not be met thus impacting the schedules and DEIA mission strategies.
