Xilinx Vivado Renewal

NASA Shared Services Center is soliciting quotes for the renewal of Xilinx Vivado software licensing maintenance and support for the Research and Engineering Directorate at Glenn Research Center. The procurement specifically requires one AMD XILINX Productivity Advantage 1-Year Agreement (part number DS-XPA-50K) to maintain critical software used for motor design, thermal analysis, and embedded software validation for FPGA programming. Only verified authorized resellers are eligible to submit quotes, and offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). The government will evaluate submissions using the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) criteria, with technically unacceptable quotes being removed from consideration. The original solicitation required quotes by August 19, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. CT, with all contractual and technical questions due by August 15, 2025, though a revised RFQ was posted on August 27, 2025.

This procurement is set aside for small business authorized resellers and distributors under NAICS code 541519. The current licensing arrangement represents a continuation of previous procurement under PO#80NSSC24PB974, indicating an existing relationship with the software provider. The contract will cover a one-year license agreement period from December 2, 2025 to December 1, 2026, with a quantity of one license renewal. Performance will occur at the Neil Armstrong Test Facility located at 21000 Brookpark Road, Cleveland, OH 44135. The brand name justification emphasizes that switching vendors would require significant time-consuming migration efforts and potential hardware replacements that would substantially delay ongoing research project schedules. Delivery terms are specified as FOB Destination, and offerors must provide two points of contact with their submissions.
