The document outlines the Statement of Work for procuring TraefikEE Mission Critical services for the AEGIC Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) located in Huntsville, AL. It specifies the purchase requirements, detailing a total quantity of four units—two for production and two for non-production environments. The services are to be provided within a defined performance period from March 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026. This procurement effort aligns with federal government protocols for RFPs, indicating a structured approach to addressing specific technical needs within critical operational settings. The document clearly defines objectives, the scope of work, and pertinent timelines for delivery, ensuring comprehensive planning and accountability in the acquisition process.

The NASA Shared Services Center recommends negotiating exclusively with Traefik Labs for the renewal of Traefik Enterprise Licenses for FY25, covering March 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026. TraefikEE is essential for NASA’s application infrastructure as it serves as the primary reverse proxy solution for the applications managed under the NCAPS contract. It has also completed Supply Chain Risk Management certification, which underscores its reliability and compatibility with existing systems. The document outlines the critical risks associated with Non-Renewal, including the potential loss of access to bug fixes and support, disruptions in application access, and increased workload for IT teams, which could significantly impact operations. Transitioning to another vendor or brand could lead to operational disruptions. The potential financial implications of sourcing an alternative remain unspecified but are anticipated to be significant. This request highlights the importance of maintaining consistent vendor relationships to ensure the functionality of NASA’s integrated systems and application support.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the renewal of Traefik Enterprise licenses, set aside for small businesses. The document details the Statement of Work, instructions for offerors, and provisions for certifications, emphasizing that only authorized partners and resellers may participate. Quotes must be submitted by January 27, 2025, to be considered, with contact information for inquiries. The procurement falls under NAICS Code 541519 and requires vendors to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). The RFQ incorporates numerous federal provisions addressing telecommunications, contractor representations, and compliance with government regulations, including Buy American and anti-human trafficking regulations. The main goal is to facilitate transparent procurement while ensuring compliance with federal standards and preferences for small business participation. This initiative underscores NASA's commitment to supporting small businesses in its acquisition processes while upholding legal and regulatory obligations in government contracting.
