Quick Summary
NASA Shared Services Center has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation for the Aware BioSP License and Maintenance Renewal supporting the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). This is a Brand Name requirement restricted to authorized resellers only. The software is critical to NASA’s credentialing processes, including background checks and smartcard issuance. Quotes are due by February 9, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement covers the renewal of various Aware BioSP software modules and maintenance support, including:
- BioSP Core Modules, Application Integration, Subject Manager, and Transaction Manager (Test & Dev and Base 8 Core licenses).
- WebEnroll (NIST, Fingerprint, Travel Document) – 100 Workstation units.
These tools are integrated into NASA and DCSA systems; the government has determined that switching to alternative software would cause significant operational delays and cost impacts exceeding one year of labor and training.
