CyboSoft's Model-Free Adaptive Software

NASA awarded a $890,000 contract to General Cybernation Group Inc (CyboSoft) for Model-Free Adaptive Software deployment at Armstrong Flight Research Center on August 6, 2026.

The award covers an estimated one-year period of performance. This was a sole-source procurement under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) / FAR 6.103-1, made without full and open competition. A notice of intent posted on SAM.gov on July 16, 2026 closed July 23 with no responses.

CyboSoft's MFA software provides real-time adaptive thermal control for high-temperature test environments with up to 264 independently controlled thermal zones without requiring pre-developed system models. The requirement arises from NASA's transition of thermal control infrastructure from obsolete NI cRIO-9022 controllers to current NI cRIO-9045 hardware due to end-of-life status and reliability issues. CyboSoft licenses its MFA software based on hardware identifiers, necessitating new licenses for replacement controllers. Market research determined that alternative commercial solutions using proportional-integral-derivative or model-based control methodologies lack equivalent adaptive capability and direct compatibility with the existing Power Control Cabinet architecture. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost fair and reasonable; procurement is anticipated under NASA SEWP as a brand name solicitation.
