NASA/MSFC has a requirement for contract support to assist the NASA Technology Transfer Offices in marketing and commercialization of NASA’s technologies and software, technology portfolio management, in-reach/out-reach support, technology screenings and commercial technology assessments, intellectual property (IP) market strategies development and implementation, and other intellectual property support as needed to transfer NASA technologies to the commercial sector, academia and other government agencies. The NASA Technology Transfer Offices seek to establish and implement license agreements to develop and transfer NASA-sponsored technologies and software from NASA into U.S. Industries, academia and state/federal agencies. These license agreements are intended to accelerate innovation, resulting in mature technology and technology alternatives for NASA missions and commercial ventures. NASA/MSFC intends to authorize an increase of the funding ceiling of the existing sole source contract to acquire the services under Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract No. 80MSFC18D0007 with Acuity Edge, Inc., (AE), a certified HUBZone Small Business.
