AI Summary
NASA Shared Services Center recommends a sole-source negotiation with CodeWare, Inc. for the renewal of their COMPRESS and INSPECT Subscription and Support. This renewal, estimated for the period of March 23, 2026, to March 22, 2027, is necessary because CodeWare software is uniquely used for stress calculation and analysis of new vessels, ensuring compliance with ASME pressure vessel and piping codes, as mandated by APR 8715.1 Chapter 10 and NASA STD (8719.17D). Adopting alternative software would lead to significant engineering rework, analysis, and potential schedule delays, which are not feasible given current cost and schedule constraints. Additionally, NASA will not sign the Purchase Agent Agreement required by CodeWare for third-party bidders, necessitating direct placement with CodeWare Inc.
