Everbridge Nixle Agency Licenses Base + OYs

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center has issued a sole source special notice for the procurement of Everbridge Nixle Agency Licenses Base plus option years. This procurement is specifically designated for authorized resellers only and pertains to the Everbridge Nixle 360 software system that NASA Goddard Space Flight Center currently uses for emergency communications and employee notifications. The system enables the Office of Communications to send SMS text messages regarding operating status, employee safety, and critical communications to employees via mobile devices. The contract structure includes a base year from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, with three additional option years extending the potential contract period through September 30, 2029. NASA has classified this as a sole source requirement under NAICS code 513210 for software publishers.

The purpose of this special notice is to inform the contracting community of NASA's intent to proceed with a sole source procurement while providing an opportunity for other qualified vendors to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested organizations must submit their qualifications and capabilities in writing to the designated contracting officer by 8:00 AM Central Standard Time on September 12, 2025, with oral communications explicitly not acceptable. The procurement covers 60,000 Nixle 360 licenses annually, 10 additional CE/VE keywords per year, and includes a one-time implementation and setup fee. NASA's justification emphasizes that Everbridge-Nixle is uniquely integrated with their current communication infrastructure, and switching vendors would cause significant operational disruptions including communication delays, system incompatibilities, and the need for extensive staff retraining. The government reserves the right to evaluate all submissions solely to determine whether to proceed competitively, though the final procurement decision remains at their discretion.
