AI Summary
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center recommends negotiating with Altair Engineering, Inc. for the renewal of the Altair Units Lease and Maintenance for NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) from December 22, 2025, to December 21, 2026. This sole-source recommendation is due to LaRC researchers' 15 years of expertise with Altair's software, which seamlessly integrates with other critical programs like LS-DYNA and Pro Engineer. This compatibility is essential for meeting project requirements efficiently. Using any other brand would lead to a complete work stoppage and increased costs due to the inability to find an alternative with identical capabilities and seamless integration.
