    The NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is seeking to renew its contract for the Nutanix Acropolis (AOS) Data Encryption Add-on. This renewal is essential for the ongoing support of Nutanix nodes utilized across the NASA Internal Network and National Security Systems at MSFC and the Johnson Space Center. The contract specifies the procurement of six licenses for the encryption add-on, set to cover the period from December 11, 2024, to December 10, 2025. The execution of this contract will take place at the MSFC in Huntsville, Alabama. This initiative underscores NASA's commitment to maintaining secure data management within its internal networks, an essential factor in supporting its operational and security missions.
    Tab 06 BNJ Redacted.pdf
    The document outlines a recommendation by NASA's Shared Services Center to procure the Nutanix Acropolis (AOS) Data Encryption Add-on exclusively from Nutanix Inc. for continued support of Nutanix nodes at multiple NASA facilities. The estimated performance period for this renewal spans from September 30, 2024, to December 10, 2025. The justification for sole-source procurement is based on the necessity for compatibility with existing infrastructure, as only this specific brand offers the required features necessary for effective operation. Utilizing an alternative brand would lead to compatibility issues with the current hardware, risking significant downtime and loss of support during outages related to encryption. The recommendation underscores NASA's adherence to maintaining operational integrity and fulfills the need for a reliable and compatible solution within the organization's established systems. This document reflects standard practices within government procurement processes where specific brand requirements are justified and pertinent to agency operations.
