Correlated Solutions Digital Image System

NASA Shared Services Center is proceeding with a sole source 8(a) procurement under FAR 12.102(a) to acquire Cadence Support Renewal for Fidelity Software, designated as a commercial item acquisition, with Cadence Design Systems Inc. identified as the sole provider capable of meeting the requirement. The procurement is being managed through the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, where performance and delivery are to occur, with a required delivery window of six to eight weeks following order placement. The contract involves the acquisition of VIC-3D 11 and Vic-2D 7 digital image correlation analysis software, Vic-Snap LS image acquisition software, a high-performance Compact PC II with specified hardware configuration, a USB dongle post-processing license, and a physical reference book, all covered under a two-year warranty for non-consumable items. Although the NAICS code listed is 334519, the solicitation references 513210 as the applicable code, indicating potential classification overlap or error. The procurement is structured as an 8(a) sole source, implying the vendor is certified as a small, disadvantaged business under the SBA’s 8(a) program, and no competitive solicitation is planned unless responses to the notice demonstrate otherwise. There is no specified contract value, pricing data, or CLIN structure provided, and no detailed inspection, packaging, or invoicing procedures are outlined beyond general compliance with FAR Part 12. The only explicitly referenced clause is the NASA FAR Supplement Ombudsman provision, and the sole point of contact is McKenzie Hanson, Procurement Specialist, to whom written capability submissions must be sent no later than June 17, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Central Time; oral communications are prohibited. No COR, COTR, payment details, accounting codes, or delivery terms such as FOB are specified in the documentation.
