FY26 SF3 Acoustics BK Connect Renewal

NASA's Shared Services Center announced a sole-source procurement for annual maintenance renewal and support of Bruel & Kjaer Connect software licenses, with capability statement submissions due August 4, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. Central Time. The notice represents a pre-award justification under FAR 12.102(a), with the government intending to award to Hottinger Bruel & Kjaer Inc. as sole source provider; however, NASA reserves discretion to proceed competitively if submitted capabilities and qualifications demonstrate competitive viability.

The work supports the JSC Acoustics Office at Johnson Space Center and covers annual software maintenance and support for 40 individual Bruel & Kjaer Connect and PULSE software licenses across seven host systems. Licensed modules include Data Viewer, Hardware Setup, Data Processing, Advanced Frequency Analysis, CPB Option, Sound Quality Metrics, Virtual Hardware Setup, Data Processing Specialist, External File Importers, Time Data Recorder, PULSE Sound Power capabilities, Material Testing, and the Acoustic Camera Applet. All licenses are node-locked. Performance runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 at Johnson Space Center.

Interested organizations must submit written capability statements only—quotes will not be accepted. Direct submissions to Cara Craft (cara.s.craft@nasa.gov) or Tiffany Neal (tiffany.neal@nasa.gov). Oral communications are not acceptable. The procurement uses FAR Part 12 commercial procedures; NAICS 334515 applies.
