About this file
This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name for Angle Measurement Sensor Calibration Services Benchmarking. NASA Shared Services Center is recommending a sole source award to Ideal Aerosmith for this effort, which has an estimated cost of an unspecified amount and a 3-month period of performance. The justification is that Ideal Aerosmith is the only vendor that can meet the technical requirements and schedule to provide the specialized calibration services required to support NASA's wind tunnel testing and research, as no other vendors were found to be capable of providing the necessary level of accuracy and traceability to NIST standards. The impact of using another vendor would be degraded data quality that would undermine customer trust and the quality of NASA's research.

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 Ideal Aerosmith only for Angle Measurement Sensor Calibration Services Benchmarking. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance is 3 months after award 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 Manufacture Name 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.
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.
This RP is to perform high-precision calibration of tri-axis accelerometer package used to support wind-tunnel testing. To provide research quality data to wind-tunnel users, these sensors require specialized calibration services and experience. These sensors are used as a metrology standard at NASA facilities and require accurate and traceability to NIST standards. An exhaustive search of tri-axis angle sensor calibration service vendors yields only Ideal Aerosmith and Acutronic to meeting the SOW technical requirements. However, Acutronic, cannot complete the work this fiscal year because they are currently relocating their calibration laboratory. Thus, Ideal Aerosmith is the only US based vendor that meets both technical and schedule requirements.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Other vendors cannot meet the technical requirements of the SOW, and would provide data quality insufficient for wind-tunnel testing. Lower quality calibration services would degrade wind-tunnel customer trust and impact the quality of NASA research.
