About this opportunity
NASA's IT Procurement Office issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) on March 23, 2026, for a sole-source contract award to Parametric Technologies Corporation (PTC) covering the renewal, maintenance, and upgrade of PTC Creo Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and PTC Windchill Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software across multiple NASA Centers. The contract, awarded on March 12, 2026, as contract number 80TECH26P0005, encompasses annual license renewals for existing users, procurement of additional licenses, maintenance and subscription services, access to software updates and version upgrades, and technical support services for a one-year period from March 15, 2026, through March 14, 2027. NASA justified the sole-source award based on PTC's proprietary software architecture and the deep integration of Windchill into the Agency's mission-critical engineering workflows, including specialized customizations such as AutoRevise workflow and Electronic Drawing Release (EDR) functionality that would require substantial system redesign to replicate through alternative vendors. The Agency conducted market research that included review of industry PLM and CAD vendors and direct correspondence with PTC; although Code Body Dynamics expressed written interest in response to a February 24, 2026 SAM.gov synopsis notice, NASA determined this vendor lacked the required specialized licensing and product-specific technical capabilities. The contract value and specific quantity of software licenses are redacted in the published justification, though NASA determined the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable based on commercial pricing and historical prices, with PTC required to submit a quote for price analysis evaluation prior to contract execution.
