The estimated performance period spans from 7/1/2025 to 8/31/2026, with specific license maintenance periods slightly varying between September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, and July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The place of performance is located at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. While the total contract price is currently to be determined (TBD), the solicitation emphasizes the critical nature of these specific software licenses, with potential transition costs and technical risks associated with changing vendors. Technical support for the licenses will be provided via email within one working day and will cover the latest available software release. Delivery of the licenses is specified as FOB Destination, indicating the government will bear transportation costs to the delivery point.
