FY26 Zeiss ATOS SMA Renewal

NASA's Shared Services Center (NSSC) published this Special Notice on March 5, 2026, announcing its intention to award a sole-source contract for FY26 Zeiss ATOS SMA Renewal to Carl Zeiss Industrial Quality Solutions LLC, located in Maple Grove, Minnesota. The procurement is being conducted under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which permits sole-source contracting when a single provider is determined to be the only source available. The contract will be administered by NASA/NSSC with performance occurring at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The government intends to acquire commercial items and services under the provisions of FAR Parts 12 and 13. The NAICS code assigned to this procurement is 334513, which covers instruments and related products manufacturing for measuring and controlling industrial process variables.

The Notice invites interested organizations to submit written capabilities and qualifications demonstrating their ability to perform the effort, with submissions due by 8:00 a.m. Central Standard Time on March 11, 2026. The Statement of Work indicates that the requirement encompasses software maintenance services for the ATOS System spanning May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, and specifically calls for six hardware dongles with associated one-year software maintenance licenses, including SensorDriver ATOS Q, SensorDriver ATOS, SensorDriver Photogrammetry, and INSPECT Optical3D Pro Li licenses. Responses will be evaluated solely to determine whether the government should conduct a competitive procurement rather than proceed with the sole-source award. The government has reserved the right to make the final determination on competition based solely on its discretion, and oral communications will not be accepted in response to this notice.
