RE Mason Renewal

NASA's Shared Services Center issued a sole-source Special Notice on October 6, 2026, announcing its intent to award a contract to Robert E. Mason & Associates Inc. for RE Mason Renewal support services at NASA Langley Research Center, with a response deadline of October 9, 2026 at 7:00 a.m. Central Standard Time. Interested vendors may submit capability statements to demonstrate qualifications for competitive consideration, though NASA retains discretion to proceed with the sole-source award.

The one-year renewal period runs from November 1, 2026 through October 31, 2027 and encompasses 24/7 emergency response, planned performance audits, application enrichment services, and product support for Emerson equipment including DeltaV control systems, AMS machinery health management systems, and XL Reporter software. R.E. Mason is the only certified Emerson business partner authorized in the Commonwealth of Virginia; NASA's justification notes that only Emerson or its approved Value Added Resellers can sell maintenance agreements on Emerson equipment, and switching vendors would create incompatibility with existing systems and operational risk to the Steam Plant, identified as critical facility infrastructure.

Performance takes place at NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia. The procurement uses FAR Part 12 commercial acquisition procedures. NAICS code 334118 (Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing); PSC DA10 (IT and Telecom — Business Application/Application Development Software as a Service). Capability statements must be submitted in writing to Shanna L. Patterson, Procurement Specialist (Shanna.L.Patterson@nasa.gov); quotes and oral communications are not accepted.
