Annual ANSA (Beta MCAE Suite) local network software renewal.

NASA Shared Services Center is seeking renewal of the Annual ANSA (Beta MCAE Suite) local network software license for 1,000 tokens, including maintenance, updates, and technical support for Linux and Windows clients, under a sole-source acquisition authorized by FAR 12.102(a) as a commercial item. The solicitation number 80NSSC26934992Q identifies this presolicitation action, which is not a request for quotes but an invitation for capability statements to confirm vendor suitability; the government has already designated Cadence Design Systems, Inc. as the intended awardee. Performance will occur at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, with a contract period from June 6, 2026, to June 5, 2027. All correspondence must reference the solicitation number in the subject line, and submissions are due by 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on June 8, 2026. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 513210 for software publishers, with no competitive procedures required. No packaging, preservation, or labeling standards apply due to the electronic delivery of commercial software; similarly, no MIL-STD, security clearances, key personnel requirements, or contract options are specified. Payment and invoicing details, accounting codes (TAS, ACRN), and the contracting officer’s contact information are not provided, though the NASA Ombudsman is designated for procedural inquiries. The Statement of Work and Request for Capability Statements are referenced but not fully detailed in the document. No evaluation factors, cost estimates, or socioeconomic certifications are disclosed, and no formal Section H, M, or K requirements beyond the Ombudsman clause and FAR Part 12 compliance are outlined.
