    NASA Marshall Space Flight Center is seeking licenses and maintenance services for the AWARE BioSP and WebEnroll systems. The request includes the renewal of maintenance for several core BioSP modules, with specific quantities ranging from two to 100 licenses. The period for these services is set from March 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026. Services required include various BioSP modules such as Application Integration, Subject Manager, and Transaction Manager, along with new workstation maintenance for WebEnroll. Testing and development licenses for the same modules are also part of the request, indicating a focus on both operational and developmental needs. The place of performance is designated as the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. This document outlines the technical specifications and maintenance requirements, aligning with government protocols for requests for proposals related to technology and licensing.
    SATPC0037689 Tab 10 BNJ Redacted.pdf
    The document outlines a justification for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to solicit a contract solely from one vendor or for a specific brand name. It recommends negotiating exclusively with AWARE Inc. for their WCS - AWARE BioSP & WebEnroll Licenses and Maintenance due to the software's unique integration within NASA's credentialing processes. The rationale for this sole-source approach is based on the software's long-standing operational history at NASA and its compatibility with the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency's systems. Transitioning to an alternative vendor would necessitate extensive retraining and system integration, resulting in significant costs and delays. The estimated contract duration spans from March 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026. The document adheres to federal acquisition regulations that permit sole-source justification when competition is not feasible, emphasizing the software's specialized nature and the operational risks involved in switching to a different product.
    SATPC0037689 Tab 10 Open Market RFQ.pdf
    The document is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by NASA for the procurement of specific software licenses and maintenance related to the AWARE BioSP and WebEnroll systems, focusing on identity credential and access management (ICAM). It outlines the structure of the solicitation, detailing sections such as the Statement of Work, Instructions to Offerors, and Quote Evaluation Criteria. Quotes must be submitted by March 3, 2025, with provisions allowing the government to accept late submissions under certain conditions. The procurement is targeted towards small businesses, and all offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Specific certification requirements regarding telecommunications, ownership, and compliance with various federal regulations are included, emphasizing the need for transparency around potential telecommunications and surveillance services. The RFQ establishes the government’s commitment to ensuring vendors meet essential representations and certifications to facilitate the selection process. This procurement initiative exemplifies how the government engages vendors in compliance with federal standards while promoting opportunities for small businesses in technological fields, underscoring the government's strategic focus on enhancing its operational efficiency through reliable software solutions.
