About this opportunity
NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for contract 80MSFC26P0003, awarding a fixed-price sole-source contract to Bristol Harbor Group, Inc. (BHGI) to conduct stress loads evaluation services for the NASA Barge Pegasus. The scope of work involves assessing the barge's structural capability to accommodate additional pedestal pads and determining whether the vessel can safely support increased loads associated with the Exploration Upper Stage (EUS)/Interstage assembly during transportation. NASA justified the sole-source award on the basis that BHGI is the only responsible source capable of satisfying agency requirements, as the firm originally performed modifications to the barge for the Artemis Program and possesses all necessary digital models, material properties, and engineering data essential for the evaluation. Engaging any alternative contractor would require two to three weeks to recreate Finite Element Analysis models, creating unacceptable delays to the Artemis III shipment schedule planned for early 2026. The contract has an estimated performance period of 5 weeks with a total estimated cost that is redacted in the publicly available documentation. A synopsis was posted on Sam.gov on November 18, 2025, and closed on November 24, 2025, with no companies responding to express interest in the procurement.
