The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (NASA/NSSC) has issued a Special Notice for MITRE NASA NIOC Engineering Services, posted on March 2, 2026. NASA intends to award a sole source contract to THE MITRE CORPORATION under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), as it has determined that MITRE is the sole provider of the required services. The contract will be processed as a commercial item procurement under FAR Parts 12 and 13, with performance taking place at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Alabama. The NAICS classification for this procurement is 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), and the procurement will follow standard commercial contracting procedures.
