    The NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) is seeking to procure essential software and maintenance services for their equipment. The required items include one PCDMIS CAD++ Offline Floating License, which will support various measurement interfaces, and a one-year Hexagon MyCare PCDMIS Protection and Update Plan to ensure software updates and protection. Additionally, the procurement encompasses an annual calibration for the Fanamation Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), which includes comprehensive calibration and maintenance support for specific serial numbers. The work will be performed at LaRC in Hampton, Virginia, and is scheduled for a 12-month period following the award. This procurement aims to maintain the accuracy and functionality of critical measurement equipment, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of NASA's operations.
    The NASA Shared Services Center proposes to negotiate exclusively with Hexagon AB for the procurement of PCDMIS CAD++ software licenses and maintenance services related to Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs). This recommendation is based on Hexagon's unique provision of proprietary software, maintenance contracts, and annual calibration services necessary for optimal equipment function. The rationale for this sole-source purchase stems from Hexagon’s longstanding relationship with NASA, having been the sole supplier for over 30 years, and the need for compatibility with existing systems. Switching to another vendor could lead to incompatibility issues, increased downtime, and disruptions in service and support, thus impacting operational efficiency. Renewing the maintenance agreement with Hexagon ensures continued technical support and adherence to operational standards. This document underscores the necessity of sole-source procurement in maintaining the precision and reliability of critical NASA assets.
    NASA/NSSC is seeking to procure Hexagon Renewal and PC-DMIS Offline License through a sole source contract with HEXAGON MANUFACTURING INTELLIGENCE, INC., as they are the exclusive provider of these products. The procurement is authorized under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), and performance will take place at NASA's Langley Research Center. The agency aims to acquire commercial items and services in accordance with FAR Part 12 and Part 13 guidelines. The relevant NAICS Code for this procurement is 513210. Interested parties have until 7 a.m. CST on April 23, 2025, to submit their qualifications and capabilities in writing, with evaluations made solely to assess potential competition. The Government retains the discretion to decide whether to proceed competitively. Communications regarding this notice must be written, and the Center Ombudsman can be contacted per NASA Clause 1852.215-84 for related inquiries.
