XGtd Package Maintenance and Support Renewal

NASA's National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center has published a Special Notice for the sole source renewal of XGtd Package Maintenance and Support services. This procurement is specifically for REMCOM INC, located in State College, Pennsylvania, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), as NASA has determined REMCOM is the sole provider of this specialized service. The contract involves renewing software licenses for Remcom's xGTD computational electromagnetics modeling tool, which is critical for NASA's Communications and Tracking Analysis Team at Johnson Space Center. The procurement is classified under NAICS Code 513210 (Software Publishers) and will utilize commercial items and services procedures from FAR Parts 12 and 13. Performance will be conducted at NASA Johnson Space Center with the contract period running from November 4, 2025, to November 3, 2026.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of NASA's intent to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for other organizations to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested parties must submit their qualifications and capabilities in writing to Shanna Patterson at Shanna.l.Patterson@nasa.gov no later than 7:00 a.m. Central Standard Time on July 30, 2025. The procurement covers three Floating Perpetual Tier 1 Maintenance and Support Renewals and one Node-Locked Perpetual Tier 1 Maintenance and Support Renewal for the xGTD software package. NASA justifies the sole source approach by emphasizing that the software is critical for multiple spaceflight programs including Gateway, Orion, International Space Station, and EHP, with program decisions based on these analyses potentially impacting millions of dollars in investments. The government will evaluate submissions solely to determine whether the procurement should be conducted competitively, though the final competitive determination remains at NASA's discretion.
