About this file
This document is a recommendation from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to solicit a sole source procurement of regenerative AC power sources from Pacific Power Source. Specifically, it recommends procuring two Pacific Power 3300AZX-8, 30 kW 3-Phase Regenerative AC, DC, AC+DC Power Sources with Option H for hardware-in-the-loop high bandwidth analog control inputs and Option L for programmable regenerative electronic load capability. The total estimated cost is an undisclosed dollar amount and the estimated period of performance is 14 weeks. Pacific Power Source is deemed the only vendor that can meet the requirements of providing a regenerative AC source with a power level in the low tens of kilowatts capable of 1000 Hz operation, as other vendors' offerings either have significantly higher power levels making them prohibitively expensive and difficult to install, or do not meet the 1000 Hz criteria.

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 Pacific Power Source for the items listed below.
the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 14 weeks.
Requested Items:
1. 2x Pacific Power 3300AZX-8, 30 kW 3-Phase Regenerative AC, DC, AC+DC Power Source
a. Option H: Hardware-in-the-Loop high bandwith analog control inputs
b. Option L: Adds programmable, regnerative, electronic load feature
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.
Pacific Power Source is the only vendor with a regenerative AC source capable of 1000 Hz operation with a power level in the low 10s of kW range. Other vendors have regenerative AC sources with power level far above this (~100 kW level, which are much more expensive, larger, and more difficult to install) or do not meet the 1000 Hz requirement (not suitable). Summary of issues with other vendor’s offerings in Table 1.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
The impact of selecting another brand would be that the new equipment would be prohibitively expensive and difficult to install, or not meeting requirements. Alternative products may cost over $100k more for their larger but unneeded power capability, which is an unnecessary additional cost to the government/taxpayer.
