About this opportunity
This notice is for the renewal of NOVICE licensing software maintenance. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Shared Services Center intends to award a one year contract to EMP Consultants, LLC to supply licensing for NOVICE 3D Ray-Trace software. The software allows complex radiation shielding calculations for multiple flight projects at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, and no other modeling suites meet the agency's validation and verification requirements. Interested parties may submit qualifications by March 20, 2024 to be considered for competitive procurement, though sole source award to the incumbent EMP Consultants is anticipated given it is the sole provider of NOVICE licensing.
There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The primary NAICS code is 541330 for computer systems design services. The potential incumbent and current contractor is EMP Consultants, LLC. As this is a renewal, the budget and value are expected to be consistent with previous NOVICE licensing and maintenance contracts. The period of performance will be one year to maintain software access for ongoing modeling and simulation at Goddard Space Flight Center.
