Deltek Acumen Fuse Software and Support

NASA's National Shared Services Center (NSSC) has issued a Special Notice for the procurement of Deltek Acumen Fuse Software and Support, posted on August 7, 2025. This procurement is intended as a sole source contract to Deltek Inc. under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), as NASA has determined that Deltek is the sole provider of this specific software and support services. The software will be utilized by NASA's Office of the Chief Financial Officer's Strategic Investments and Budget division to support Schedule Management and Earned Value Management capabilities across the agency. The procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) and will use commercial item acquisition procedures under FAR Parts 12 and 13. Performance will be located at NASA Headquarters with a one-year performance period from the award date.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of NASA's intent to proceed with a sole source procurement while providing an opportunity for other organizations to demonstrate their capabilities and qualifications. Interested organizations must submit their written responses by 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on August 12, 2025, with oral communications explicitly not acceptable. The software renewal aims to maintain NASA's project planning and control capabilities, including schedule health checks, performance analysis, data visualization, and support for GAO High Risk List Corrective Action Plan initiatives. Submissions will be evaluated solely to determine whether the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis, though the government retains full discretion regarding competition. The Deltek Acumen Fuse software has become a standard tool for NASA, helping to normalize Earned Value Management and integrated master schedule analysis across agency programs and projects while supporting critical decision-making processes throughout the organization.
