About this opportunity
NASA's National Shared Services Center (NSSC) is seeking a sole-source contract for software maintenance and support for VA-One acoustic analysis software, currently used at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). The procurement is specifically for renewal of existing software maintenance agreements and license extensions for the grid BEM analysis module. NASA intends to issue the contract directly to ESI North America Inc. under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), citing them as the sole vendor capable of providing licensing and technical support. Interested organizations may submit capabilities and qualifications in writing by 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on April 14, 2025, with the understanding that the government will evaluate these submissions to determine whether to proceed with competitive or non-competitive procurement. The evaluation will be solely focused on determining the procurement approach, with the government retaining full discretion in the final decision.
The procurement is not designated with any specific set-aside and will be processed using commercial item acquisition procedures under FAR Parts 12 and 13. The contract is classified under NAICS Code 811210 and PSC Category 7A20 for IT and telecom application development software. The performance period is anticipated to be one year, with the primary location being NASA/GSFC. ESI North America Inc., located in Novi, Michigan, is the proposed sole source contractor, with a contract value not explicitly stated in the pre-solicitation notice. The statement of work emphasizes potential project risks, including the possibility of time-critical project schedule extensions or potential project cancellations if software licensing is delayed. The procurement will be managed by Procurement Specialist Kathi Thomas and Contracting Officer Tiffany Neal, with an NASA Ombudsman available for additional guidance.
