                   ***THIS IS A NON COMPETITIVE SYNOPSIS***

NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) has a requirement for the annual network renewal of 147 Hyperworks Units.

NASA/MSFC intends to purchase items from Altair Engineering on a sole source basis.

The Altair Hyperworks code is proprietary and a source of the salient characteristics is not available to the government. No second source vendors have been authorized by the creator of the Altair Hyperworks to develop this item; therefore the information to develop a package for full and open competition is not available.

The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.

Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact Steven S. Shaw at steven.s.shaw@nasa.gov not later than 12:00 p.m. CST on 04/06/2016. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government.

Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.

All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.

NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html .
