MTS Flextest 40 Upgrade Computers

NASA Shared Services Center is conducting a sole-source procurement of MTS Flextest 40 Upgrade Computers with a capability statement submission deadline of August 5, 2026 at 7:00 a.m. Central Time. MTS Systems Corporation has been determined the sole provider under FAR 12.102(a) authority based on proprietary software, hardware design, and exclusive technical capabilities that alternatives cannot replicate; implementation of non-MTS solutions would require hardware replacement, custom software redevelopment, and extensive validation at costs and schedule delays exceeding the MTS solution itself.

Performance occurs at NASA Langley Research Center within 90 days of award. The Statement of Work requires delivery and installation of MTS ReNew System components including controller upgrade, computer with Windows 11, 27-inch monitor, TestSuite TW Elite Software with strain option, and one-year software support. The vendor must also upgrade four existing computers to Windows 11 with MTS 793 software, install additional ethernet cards, perform onsite ASTM-accredited calibration services for axial force and displacement, and provide onsite training and Field Service Engineer travel.

Interested organizations may submit written capabilities and qualifications to Shanna L. Patterson (Shanna.L.Patterson@nasa.gov) by the August 5 deadline. The government retains sole discretion to conduct full and open competition based on submitted materials. Oral communications are not acceptable. NAICS 541511 applies; FAR Part 12 commercial item procedures govern the procurement.
