    The document outlines the requirements for procuring Rockwell Automation TechConnect support for NASA's Stennis Space Center (SSC) in FY25. The primary objective is to ensure that the existing infrastructure of SSC’s Test Facility Control System continues to function optimally. The contractor selected must be an authorized service provider and distributor for Rockwell products. The RFP specifies various aspects of TechConnect coverage, including support for legacy software, application software, automation control hardware, and HMI software, with detailed information on corresponding part numbers and descriptions. Support will also cover a wide range of Rockwell product families and software serial numbers, ensuring that essential hardware and software are maintained and supported adequately. The performance period for the agreement is from March 9, 2025, to March 8, 2026, with the need for services to be fulfilled by March 8, 2025. The delivery will be made electronically to the designated NASA representative, Alex Elliot. This acquisition highlights the government's commitment to maintaining critical technology infrastructure for aerospace and other related applications.

    The NASA Shared Services Center recommends negotiating with Rockwell Automation for the renewal of RSLogix software licenses essential for operations at Stennis Space Center (SSC) from March 9, 2025, to March 8, 2026. The unique characteristics of the software are critical for maintaining the existing infrastructure used in propulsion test programs, which necessitate the continuous use of Rockwell applications. The recommendation is justified as any alternative would disrupt SSC's ability to operate effectively due to the lack of compatible programming solutions. Furthermore, failure to renew licenses would not only hinder the maintenance of vital propulsion test equipment but could also lead to significant costs and schedule delays associated with rewriting and validating control systems software. The document emphasizes the impracticality of seeking alternative vendors since only Rockwell Authorized Service Providers can meet the software and application requirements, indicating a strategic approach to ensure uninterrupted support for SSC's mission.
    Tab 12 RFQ 80NSSC896375Q.pdf
    The document is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by NASA, specifically the NASA Shared Services Center, for a brand name requirement related to Rockwell auto renewal services. It outlines essential components such as the Statement of Work (SOW), submission instructions, evaluation criteria, along with terms and conditions applicable to the procurement. The RFQ emphasizes that participation is limited to authorized resellers and distributors, requiring quotes by March 3, 2025, while also specifying delivery terms as FOB Destination. Furthermore, the procurement is set aside for small businesses, and vendors must register in the System for Award Management (SAM) and meet various representations and certifications related to telecommunications, child labor practices, and other legal compliance requirements. The document incorporates several FAR and NFS clauses, emphasizing adherence to commercial regulations and conditions, including export compliance and the necessity for contractors to inform employees of whistleblower rights. The RFQ establishes a structured approach for potential offerors to ensure compliance and clarity in the bidding process for government contracts.
