About this file
This document is a Brand Name Justification for the acquisition of Single Mode Fiber with Bragg Grating, to be procured by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The total estimated cost is not provided, but the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 8 weeks from the date of order.
The Brand Name Justification states that market research has shown the required fiber can only be provided by Baker Hughes (or a Sensruon reseller), as it must meet specific technical requirements, including single mode 125 nominal fiber at 1550-nm wavelength, polyimide coating, low reflectivity, and 1-cm spaced gratings. Using a product that does not precisely meet these specifications would result in inaccurate structural experimental data.

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 band name from Baker Hughes for Single Mode Fiber with Bragg Grating (SureView).
The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 8 weeks from the date of order.
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.
Market Research conducted by the technical end user has shown that no other company produces a fiber that meets our specific requirements. We need fiber with the following specs:
• Single Mode 125, nominal l at 1550-nm, low bend loss
• Polyimide coated (4X, nominal 162-micron total fiber thickness)
• Low reflectivity (for Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry)
• 1-cm spaced gratings
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Based upon our market research, the only vendor that can provide this product with the aforementioned specifications is Baker Hughes (or Sensruon reseller). If another vendor were to offer a similar product that did not meet the exact specifications, the structural experimental data would provide inaccurate data and fail.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
It is critical that the fiber ordered has Polyimide coating; fibers with acrylate coating are unacceptable.
