About this opportunity
NASA's Kennedy Space Center issued this sole-source justification notice on April 15, 2026, for Engineering Services During Construction (ESDC) support related to the Safety and Reliability Upgrade of the KSC Institutional Power Systems, Phase 6. The contract, awarded to Nelson Engineering Company under contract 80KSC022DA121 on February 2, 2026, provides architect and engineering services for a specialized electrical substation upgrade project at the Vehicle Assembly Building. Nelson Engineering was selected as the sole-source contractor based on its status as the Engineer of Record for the original design and its specialized expertise with the Electrical Substation USS-833A/B (13.8kV/480V) system, making it the only firm capable of efficiently executing the ESDC support. The justification emphasizes that procuring an alternative contractor would necessitate 4 or more additional months for design review and recertification, resulting in substantial cost and schedule impacts. The estimated period of performance spans 1,687 calendar days from the award date, with Nelson providing pricing under a previously determined fair and reasonable Advanced Pricing Rate Agreement (APRA), and the government conducting technical evaluation and hour negotiation per FAR 15.404-1 standards. The previous design refresh work by Nelson under task order 80KSC024FA013 was valued at $155,459.00, establishing a baseline for cost reasonableness on this continuation effort.
