VIC-3D System

NASA's Shared Services Center (NSSC) has published a Special Notice for the procurement of a VIC-3D System, with performance to be conducted at NASA Langley Research Center. The agency intends to award a sole source contract to Correlated Solutions Inc. of Irmo, South Carolina, under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) authority, having determined that this company is the sole provider of the required VIC-3D System. This procurement is classified under NAICS code 334519 for Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing and is set aside for Total Small Business participation. The government plans to acquire these commercial items and services using standard FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures. The contract will be processed through NASA/NSSC as the procuring center.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to provide interested organizations an opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities and qualifications to perform this work, potentially influencing NASA's decision on whether to conduct the procurement competitively rather than sole source. Interested parties must submit written responses by 8:00 a.m. Central Standard Time on August 13, 2025, with oral communications explicitly not acceptable. The government will evaluate these submissions solely to determine whether to proceed with competitive bidding instead of the planned sole source award. Any determination to maintain the sole source approach remains entirely at the government's discretion. Organizations seeking to respond should direct their capability statements to the primary point of contact, Monica D. Wilson, or secondary contact Bobbie Young, both accessible via the provided email addresses.
