    The NASA Shared Services Center is recommending a sole source procurement for the Qumulo General Purpose Software Subscription and Qumulo Mission Q Services for the Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) at NASA Langley Research Center. The justification for negotiating exclusively with Qumulo, rather than seeking other vendors, is rooted in the software's unique compatibility with the existing HPE Apollo 4200 G10 336TB Archive Nodes, which have been in use since 2020. Continued subscription is critical for adhering to NASA cyber security policies, requiring periodic updates and patches. Alternatives could jeopardize data storage needs, lead to integration challenges, and incur unnecessary costs due to the proprietary nature of needed updates. This document underlines the necessity of maintaining current software to ensure operational consistency and compliance with established cyber security protocols during the performance window from February 2025 to February 2026.
