About this file

This document is a Justification for Sole Source or Brand Name Procurement. It recommends that NASA negotiate with the vendor Cognitive Software FZE to acquire OMNEST commercial software licenses and support. The total estimated cost is not provided, but the estimated period of performance is through 7/15/2024. The rationale is that this particular software tool is the only one that has a model for cellular 5G sidelink mode 1 systems, which is the subject of NASA's research. Any other tools would not be useful for this project. The related federal contract opportunity is for the OMNEST Network Simulation Software Licenses and support, and is designated as a brand name requirement with authorized resellers only. The contracting agency is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center.
