About this file

This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name, which recommends that NASA Shared Services Center negotiate a sole-source contract with RAID Inc. for the procurement of RAID Inc. ARI-600 Series 25GbE iSCSI systems.

The key details are:

  • The total estimated cost of this effort is unknown, with an estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery of 30 days after order.
  • The rationale for the sole-source justification is that the RAID Inc. systems are required to integrate with the existing systems, support methods, and configuration management, and to add redundancy to the existing RAID Inc. deployment that supports critical systems. Alternate vendor solutions would require rebuilding the existing infrastructure, introducing significant mission risk.
  • The related federal contract opportunity is a Special Notice for the FY24 procurement of RAID Inc. ARI-600 Series 25GbE iSCSI systems, to be issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center.

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 RAID Inc. only for Raid Inc ARI-600 Series 25GbE ISCSI. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 30 days ARO.

OR

Brand Name Justification:

☐I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject band name from . for Enter Supply or Service to be procured. The total estimated cost of this effort is 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.

The systems support network operations for a spacecraft and science data processing network and are required to integrate with existing systems, support methods, and configuration management, these systems are to add redundancy to existing RAID Inc deployment which support critical systems.The specified brand name systems are required to meet these specifications.

2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.

If we were to deviate from RAID Inc, Other systems will require support of multiple vendor equipment, require limited staff to support multiple variations of deployments and introduce overall complexity in the mission environment which will lead to compatibility issues and impact operations.The specified systems are required to interoperate with existing deployment. Alternate vendor solutions would require a re-build from scratch the existing infrastructure which would add significant mission risk.
