to renew orcad network licenses/etd

NASA's Shared Services Center is seeking to renew Orcad network software licenses for the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) located in Greenbelt, Maryland. The solicitation requires a contractor capable of providing updated software license maintenance with specific compatibility requirements between Cadence and Orcad systems. The contract's primary objective is to ensure continuous software licensing and support for a 12-month performance period, with electronic delivery of new license files. The solicitation was posted on January 8, 2025, with proposal responses due by January 13, 2025, indicating a relatively short window for submission. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the key requirements will likely focus on technical compatibility, licensing expertise, and ability to meet NASA's specialized software environment needs.

The contract opportunity is not designated as a set-aside and falls under the NAICS category of Other Computer Related Services (541519) with a Product Service Code focused on IT and Telecom High Performance Computing Support Services. The place of performance is explicitly noted as Greenbelt, MD 20771, with electronic delivery of licensing materials. No specific incumbent contractor or precise award value is mentioned in the available documentation. The procurement appears to be a routine license renewal with a focused scope limited to software licensing and maintenance support. Given the technical nature of the requirement and the specific systems involved (Orcad and Cadence), the contract will likely require specialized technical knowledge of scientific and engineering software licensing protocols.
