This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source form for HPE SGI 8600 Custom Hardware Support Services. The document recommends sole source procurement from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) for hardware support renewal with an estimated performance period from June 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026. NASA justifies the sole source selection based on critical mission requirements, noting that the HPE hardware supports key spaceflight programs including Orion, Commercial Crew, Gateway, and Human Landing System. The document emphasizes that deviating from HPE would cause significant disruptions, including potential loss of access to critical software updates, non-compliance with NASA Security requirements, and delays in mission timelines and operational readiness.
