Sisense Renewal

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center has published a Special Notice for a sole source contract renewal of Sisense Fusion Analytics software. NASA intends to award this contract directly to Sisense, Inc., located in New York, having determined they are the sole provider capable of delivering this renewal service. The procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) and will be conducted using FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures for commercial items and services. The contract will support International Space Station teams at Johnson Space Center with advanced data analytics capabilities. This is designated as a sole source acquisition with no set-aside provisions applied.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to announce NASA's intent to proceed with a sole source contract while providing an opportunity for other organizations to demonstrate their capabilities and potentially challenge the sole source determination. Interested contractors must submit written capability statements and qualifications to the contracting officer, Cara Craft, by 1:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on August 8, 2025. The procurement covers a one-year renewal period from September 25, 2025, to September 24, 2026, and includes two production cores with administrative and viewer licenses, one non-production core, unlimited viewer licenses, and additional admin/designer licenses. NASA will evaluate submitted capabilities solely to determine whether the procurement should be conducted competitively, retaining full discretion in this determination. The software will enable near-real-time data monitoring, tracking, and advanced analytics for ISS operations, with potential future integration into artificial intelligence forecasting systems.
