Notice of Award - Aalyria Spacetime XS Stating Instance

NASA’s IT Procurement Office awarded a sole-source contract to Aalyria Technologies, Inc. for the Aalyria Spacetime XS Staging Instance under Solicitation Number 80TECH26P0007, justified under FAR 6.104-1(a)(1) due to the absence of alternative sources capable of delivering the required capability. The system is designed to modernize NASA’s SCaN Program Operations Cloud by enabling real-time, automated cross-layer network orchestration across space, ground, and commercial assets, eliminating a fragmented, manual coordination process that previously required up to seven separate agreements per mission. The contract was executed without competitive solicitation following a DIU Success Memorandum confirming the proprietary and mission-critical nature of Aalyria’s technology, which has undergone prior validation through NextSTEP-2 BAA and DIU testing. Performance is expected at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD, with a 12-month demonstration window, and acceptance will be based on technical maturity, interoperability, cybersecurity compliance, and proven operational readiness rather than competitive pricing. No pricing details are disclosed, and the acquisition is considered a best-value trade-off, not LPTA, with technical superiority prioritized over cost. The NAICS code is 541330, no set-aside was used, and the contract does not include specified packaging, marking, preservation, or MIL-STD requirements as it involves cloud-based software integration. There are no identified key personnel, contract options, security clearance requirements, or organizational conflict of interest mitigation clauses in the documentation, and no standard FAR contract clauses, representations, or certifications were included, consistent with its execution under an Other Transaction authority supported by DIU. The primary point of contact is Seliste Acres, reachable at seliste.c.acres@nasa.gov, and the award notice was posted on Sam.gov on May 14, 2026.
