The NASA Kennedy Space Center is seeking a vendor to supply Visual Planning software for the FY25 Spaceport Scheduling Project. The contract includes a one-year on-premise subscription for various user licenses (VPServer, VPDesk named and floating, and VPPortal floating) along with comprehensive consulting and training services. Key objectives are to deploy a user-friendly tool for efficiently sharing plans and schedules within a color-coded, multi-user, near-real-time environment. The software should support the elimination of scheduling conflicts, provide custom templates, and enable integration with other software systems like Microsoft Project and Maximo.
The vendor must demonstrate authorization as a reseller and provide technical support, including bug fixes and access to an online knowledge base. The intended deployment period is one year after the award, culminating in a fully functional system by July 1, 2025. These specifications ensure that the software effectively meets operational needs while adhering to NASA's standards for security and accessibility, crucial in the context of government contracting and project management.

The NASA Shared Services Center's document recommends a sole source procurement of Spaceport Scheduling Software from Stilog Inc. due to its unique capability to meet the Kennedy Space Center's needs in conjunction with training services. An estimated cost and delivery timeline prior to July 2025 have been outlined, as the transition from the current BOSS contract to the SOCS contract necessitates timely setup and training. The rationale for this sole source justification includes the assessment that the Visual Planning software aligns best with operational requirements and avoiding delays which could disrupt workflow during the transition. Potential impacts of selecting an alternative vendor would include schedule misalignments and increased risks to the project's timeline. The necessity for this procurement underlines the strategic importance of maintaining operational continuity and efficiency in NASA's projects.
