About this file
This document is a recommendation and determination to solicit from one source or brand name for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The recommendation is to negotiate solely with Julabo USA Inc. to procure a DYNEO DD-1000F Fluid Chiller with an estimated period of performance ending September 30, 2023. Code 548 has several of the same brand equipment and procuring the same brand chiller would allow for sharing of accessories between Code 548 and 598 as well as provide backup equipment in case of issues. Soliciting another brand would increase costs for the government as Codes 548 and 598 would not be able to share accessories and would lack backup systems in an emergency. The related solicitation is number 80NSSC23841515Q for a chiller for a Tvac chamber at NASA's Shared Services Center.

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION
NASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER
RECOMMENDATION AND DETERMINATION TO SOLICIT FROM ONE SOURCE
OR BRAND NAME
PICK ONE
Sole Source:
I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with Vendor Name only for Enter Supply or Service to be procured. The total estimated cost of this effort is Enter Dollar amount and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is Date.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from Julabo USA Inc. for DYNEO DD-1000F Fluid Chiller.
the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 9/30/2023.
This recommendation is for the acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available from only one source/only one manufacture. Competition is impractical for the following reasons (please answer the questions below):
1. What are the reasons for soliciting only the suggested source/suggested brand name? Please provide the unique characteristics of the items or services along with the supporting rationale and the market research performed to substantiate your reason for the suggested source/brand name.
Code 548 has several of the same name brand equipment that we want to purchase, including the same chiller. Having the same equipment will allow for sharing of accessories and will provide a backup for both 548 and 598 should equipment problems arise.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Using another name brand will cost the government more in that 598 and 548 could not share accessories for their respective chillers. It would also not allow for having backup systems in case of problems with either the 548 or 598 units.
