Quick Summary
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) IT Procurement Office (ITPO) has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for the FY26 PTC Software Subscription Renewal. This notice details NASA's intent to award a sole-source contract to Parametric Technologies Corporation (PTC) for the renewal of critical Creo and Windchill software licenses, maintenance, upgrades, and support services.
Scope of Work
The required services include annual license renewals, procurement of additional licenses, maintenance and subscription services, access to software updates, and technical support for PTC Creo (CAD) and PTC Windchill (PLM) software. These systems are essential for NASA's engineering design, data management, and configuration control processes, with deep integration into existing workflows, including custom configurations like AutoRevise and Electronic Drawing Release (EDR).
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) / Sole Source Intent
- Published: March 23, 2026
- Department/Agency: National Aeronautics And Space Administration
- Office: NASA IT PROCUREMENT OFFICE
- Product/Service Code: DA10 (Support Services, Delivered As A Service Contract)
Justification
NASA's market research indicates that PTC is the sole source provider for these proprietary software products. The extensive integration of PTC Creo and Windchill with NASA's existing systems and custom configurations makes alternative solutions impractical due to the significant redesign, data migration, and retraining that would be required. While a notice of intent was posted and one other company expressed interest, they were deemed incapable of meeting the unique PTC software requirements. NASA plans to continue exploring market alternatives for future acquisitions.
