Epsilon3 Licenses for Pilot Program

This is a sole-source acquisition under FAR 12.102(a) for 100 FedRAMP High-authorized Epsilon3 Pro software licenses and one-time implementation and onboarding services to support NASA’s Kennedy Space Center EGS/COMET Team. The procurement is justified as non-competitive due to Epsilon3, Inc.’s unique capability to meet mission-critical operational, cybersecurity, and scheduling requirements, specifically to replace legacy systems like Solumina and Maximo that impede performance and scalability for Artemis III and future missions. The contract is classified as a commercial item acquisition under FAR Part 12, waiving standard military packaging, labeling, and preservation requirements since the software is delivered electronically. The period of performance is 12 months, beginning as required, with implementation and onboarding mandated to start no later than May 6, 2026, and be completed by May 16, 2026. Performance is centered at NASA Kennedy Space Center in Merritt Island, Florida, with administrative functions managed by the NASA Shared Services Center in Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. The solicitation, numbered 80NSSC26932405Q, was posted and is due on May 1, 2026, with a shortened response window reflecting urgent mission needs. Submission of proposals must be made via email to Shanna L. Patterson at Shanna.L.Patterson@nasa.gov, and no formal competitive evaluation factors are applied since award is based solely on the absence of viable alternatives. Pricing details are not provided in the solicitation, and no contract options, key personnel requirements, or socioeconomic certifications are specified. Acceptance of deliverables will occur at the performance location by NASA, with compliance to the FedRAMP High security baseline serving as the primary quality standard. No formal attachments, clause alternates beyond those cited, or additional representations from the vendor are included in the documentation.
