COMPRO/RAVEN Annual Renewal

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center has issued a Special Notice for a sole source procurement to renew annual licenses for COMPRO/RAVEN software. NASA intends to award this contract directly to Convergent Manufacturing Technologies Inc., located in Vancouver, Canada, under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), determining that this company is the sole provider of the required service. The procurement involves renewing software licenses and technical support for COMPRO/RAVEN PRO and COMPRO 1 Core software for NASA Langley Research Center. The performance period spans from August 18, 2025 to August 18, 2026, with services delivered to Hampton, Virginia. This procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers and will utilize FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures for acquiring commercial items and services.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of NASA's intent to conduct a sole source procurement while providing an opportunity for other organizations to demonstrate their capabilities. NASA justifies the sole source approach by emphasizing that COMPRO and RAVEN are proprietary software packages critical for composite process modeling development, with unique capabilities validated through consultations with major aerospace industry partners including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and General Electric. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing to Procurement Specialist Shanna Patterson no later than 7:00 a.m. Central Standard Time on July 7, 2025.
