About this opportunity
NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center is seeking to procure annual maintenance and warranty renewal services for 678 Concurrent Real-Time Information Technology units through a commercial-off-the-shelf subscription package. The renewal includes hardware "return-to-factory" service with RedHawk Linux software maintenance for NASA-owned IT units used in system testing and development. NASA intends to issue a sole source contract to Concurrent Real-Time Inc., the original manufacturer, under simplified acquisition procedures for commercial items. Interested organizations may submit capabilities and qualifications via email to designated NASA contacts by 2:00 p.m. CST on March 14, 2025. These submissions will be evaluated solely to determine whether the acquisition should be conducted on a competitive basis, with the final determination remaining at the Government's discretion.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and targets the original equipment manufacturer as the intended sole source contractor. Concurrent Real-Time Inc. is identified as both the original manufacturer and exclusive distributor/supplier of the proprietary hardware and software systems, including the RedHawk Linux real-time operating system. The company exclusively provides associated warranties and service agreements, with resale dealers or distributors not authorized by the original manufacturer. The contract covers maintenance and warranty services for 678 NASA-owned IT units, though no specific contract value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The procurement falls under the Electronic Computer Manufacturing NAICS category and IT Platform as a Service PSC classification.
