Globus High Assurance Subscription

NASA Shared Services Center seeks a one-year Globus High Assurance Subscription for NASA Ames Research Center, with quotes due September 9, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Central Time. This is a total small business set-aside and a brand name procurement under FAR 12.102(a) for a commercial item.

Place of performance is Moffett Field, California. The procurement specifies one unit each of the Globus High Assurance Subscription (Part No. G-HA-S-1Y) and an Alternate Identity Provider service (Part No. A-I-P-1Y), both from Globus dba The University of Chicago, each with a one-year subscription term from purchase order date. NASA ARC determined that Globus is the only known solution meeting agency requirements for secure, high-performance data transfers across diverse computing environments while supporting Protected Health Information (PHI), Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in compliance with federal and institutional requirements. Switching to competitor products would create compatibility and interoperability challenges; competitors typically charge based on data transfer volume, whereas Globus offers flat-rate pricing—critical given NASA ARC's current monthly data transfers of 3–5 petabytes. The NAICS code is 513210, Software Publishers; PSC is DA10.
