Quick Summary

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has published a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JAFO) for the FY26 NASA All-up Unified Support Renewal. This document details the rationale for awarding a firm-fixed-price delivery order to Minburn Technology Group under their SEWP V contract (NNG15SD34B) without full and open competition for comprehensive Microsoft Unified Support services.

Purpose & Scope

This JAFO justifies the continuation of enterprise-wide support for Microsoft technologies, including cloud, on-premises, security, productivity, and development platforms. The service provides 24/7 incident response, structured escalation to Microsoft engineering, and broad coverage deemed critical for NASA's mission.

Contract Details

Opportunity Type: Justification (Sole Source)
Contract Vehicle: SEWP V contract (NNG15SD34B) with Minburn Technology Group
Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price Delivery Order
Period of Performance: May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027
Estimated Price: Redacted
Place of Performance: Huntsville, AL, United States

Sole Source Rationale

NASA's decision to award to Minburn Technology Group is based on the existing Enterprise Agreement (EA) being the consolidated vehicle for Microsoft licensing and support. Awarding to Minburn is considered necessary to maintain economy and efficiency, avoid disruption, prevent fragmentation of the EA, and avert potential gaps in mission-critical support. The Unified Support model is described as a unique, enterprise-level service that third-party providers cannot fully replicate.

Future Considerations

NASA will continue to examine the market for alternative solutions or new sources for future acquisitions to ensure best value and explore competitive options.
