NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is justifying a sole source procurement to ASTM International for agency-wide access to ASTM Standards. - The requirement is for an enterprise-wide subscription to ASTM engineering and technical standards. - Includes access to historical archives, revision tracking, search and cross-reference features, and enterprise authentication. - The justification cites unusual and compelling urgency due to loss of access from the incumbent vendor. - Only ASTM International is named as the vendor; no other OEMs or resellers are mentioned. - The estimated contract value is $333,000 for a one-year subscription. - No specific part numbers or product SKUs are provided. - The period of performance is August 16, 2026, to August 15, 2027. - The opportunity is not open for competition due to the unique nature of the requirement and vendor exclusivity.
Description
