Quick Summary
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has issued a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity for the renewal of its Agency-Wide Microsoft 365 Government 5 (G5) Enterprise Agreement. This action is a firm-fixed price option exercise with Minburn Technology for the period of May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027. This justification is published under a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside.
Scope of Work
This renewal ensures uninterrupted access to critical Microsoft 365 G5 services, including Exchange Online, Teams, and Azure Active Directory, for approximately 95% of NASA personnel. It is essential for maintaining enterprise-wide productivity, collaboration, cybersecurity, and compliance across the agency.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Firm-Fixed Price Option Exercise (Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity)
- Duration: May 1, 2026 – April 30, 2027
- Set-Aside: Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)
- Product Service Code: DA10 (Support Services, Delivered As A Service Contract)
- Published Date: May 1, 2026
Justification Details
NASA's Information Technology Procurement Office (ITPO) is exercising an option under an existing Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V Delivery Order. The exception is based on FAR 16.507(b)(2), citing that Minburn Technology is the sole provider of the existing enterprise license agreement (ELA) and is uniquely capable of providing the required services without disruption. This approach avoids significant financial and operational risks, including loss of negotiated discounts, early termination penalties, and the impracticality of migrating over 45,000 users within a short timeframe. The pricing for this option period has been deemed fair and reasonable.
Future Procurement
NASA is concurrently conducting a competitive procurement for a new agency-wide Microsoft Blanket Purchase Agreement to ensure future acquisitions are competed.
