About this file
This is a Brand Name Justification form from NASA Shared Services Center recommending procurement of Akamai Edge DNS Renewal services for the period of February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2026.
The justification explains that Akamai Edge DNS Services currently hosts all of NASA's public Domain Name System (DNS) zones and records, and renewal is required to continue this critical service. The document notes that switching to a different vendor would require approximately one year for transition, and without Akamai services, NASA would have no public DNS services. The product was previously selected during a project and approved by NASA leadership. The form indicates this as a brand name justification rather than a sole source procurement, meaning that multiple vendors who can provide the specified Akamai brand services may be considered.
