Opportunity Overview
NASA/MSFC has a requirement for the procurement of 20 Information Technology (IT) software and rackmount system packages (including the NightStar Tools, part numbers: WU1200-LDVF and WU1221-LDV; NightStar Tools yearly maintenance, part number: SW-YM; iHawk rackmount systems, part number: HR000-1R40N-4AZ10; and iHawk yearly maintenance, part number: HWSW-YM). The renewal is a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) subscription which includes the hardware “return-to-factory” service with RedHawk Linux software maintenance. The iHawk systems are needed to build the MPCV (Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle) C-AR35 layout to match the existing MPCV layouts. The RedHawk KVM-RT Config Tool and licenses will be used to test reducing physical hardware needed for ULA’s (United Launch Alliance) deployments. The NightStar software is needed to real-time troubleshoot and detect system overruns or interrupt conflicts in the Integrated Avionics Test Facilities (IATF) labs.
NASA/MSFC intends to issue a sole source contract to acquire the IT Annual Maintenance and NightStar Tools from the Original Manufacturer (OM), Concurrent Real-Time Inc. 800 NW 33RD ST Pompano Beach, Florida 33064-2046, United States under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12.201-1 Simplified Procedures.

The OM, Concurrent Real-Time Inc., exclusively provides the associated warranties and service agreements to ensure long-term functionality for authorized users. The NightStar software is needed to real-time troubleshoot and detect system overruns or interrupt conflicts in the IATF labs. Resale dealers or distributors are not authorized by the OM.
The Government intends to acquire a commercial product or service using FAR Part 12.
