MTS Software Support Plan Renewal

This is a sole-source contract renewal for MTS Software Support Plan services under FAR 12.102(a), issued by the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The procurement is non-competitive and justified solely by the unique, proprietary nature of the MTS AeroPro and 793 Software systems, which are deeply integrated into mission-critical Space Launch System (SLS) Core Stage structural qualification testing at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The contract period runs from March 1, 2026, to February 28, 2027, and requires uninterrupted software support to prevent system failure, data loss, or mission disruption. Deliverables include three specific Software Support Plans with designated part numbers and quantities—MESSAFTPC (eight units), MESFTGT (one unit), and MESFTSE (two units)—though no pricing, contract value, or line-item details are provided in the documentation. The acquisition follows commercial item procedures under FAR Part 12, with no competitive evaluation, LPTA process, or formal weights assigned to technical factors. The only cited contract clause is NASA’s 1852.215-84 Ombudsman clause, intended to facilitate contractor advocacy. The point of contact is Shanna L. Patterson, whose email serves as the sole submission channel, with proposals due by June 8, 2026. No funding codes, payment office details, invoicing method, packaging specifications, or contractor representations such as size status or UEI are included, and the absence of CLINs, pricing, or formal inspection criteria reflects a streamlined commercial acquisition model focused on sustaining critical legacy software functionality without procurement competition.
