About this file
This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name for the procurement of a TestEquity TE-140 Thermal Chamber. The total estimated cost is undisclosed, with an estimated delivery period of 6 weeks after award. NASA Shared Services Center is recommending a sole source acquisition from TestEquity due to the unique characteristics of the thermal chamber, which can achieve extreme positive and negative temperatures and has specific interfaces required for the laboratory setting. The document states that no other vendor can provide a system that meets the government's exact needs, and failure to procure this system would impact future instrument development projects. The related federal contract opportunity is a Special Notice for the TE-140 Thermal Chamber, which is described as a sole source requirement for NASA Shared Services Center.

RECOMMENDATION AND DETERMINATION TO SOLICIT FROM ONE SOURCE
OR BRAND NAME
Sole Source:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with TestEquity only for a TE-140 Thermal Chamber. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 6 weeks after award.
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.
TestEquity provides Thermal Chambers that can go to extreme positive and extreme negative temperatures, and has ports to be able to automate its operation via LABVIEW programming. Chamber has a specific input plug for our specific laboratory setting.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand was used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
No other company has developed a unique system for our exact needs. Failure to procure this system from TEST EQUITY directly impacts our capabilities to test electronic designs and will impact schedules and budgets of future instrument development projects.
