About this file
This document is a Brand Name Justification for the acquisition of the GT-SUITE Productivity Pack software from Gamma Technologies. The total estimated cost is unspecified, with a period of performance from 10/31/24 to 10/31/25. The justification states that GT-SUITE is a unique multi-physics simulation suite with pre-loaded models relevant to aerospace vehicle and component development, and that the supplier provides technical support. Using an alternate vendor or brand would require significant civil servant time to develop custom modeling capabilities, delaying the applied design and analysis work. The Brand Name Justification supports the associated federal contract opportunity, Solicitation Number 80NSSC24885513Q, for the procurement of the GT-SUITE Productivity Pack by the 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 only for Product being purchased . 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 only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from Gamma Technologies for GT-SUITE Productivity Pack.
The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 10/31/24 – 10/31/25.
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.
GT-SUITE is a multi-physics thermal, fluid, turbomachinery, and heat exchanger simulation suite with a unique GUI interface and pre-loaded models relevant to the development of aerospace vehicle and components. The capabilities have been verified to meet the requirements of applied design and analysis work. The supplier also provides technical support for the software and applications.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
While other multiphysics simulation suites exist, if another vendor or brand is used, it is anticipated that significant civil servant time will be required to interface with and develop the custom modeling capabilities that are available off-the-shelf with the GT-SUITE environment.
This will subsequently delay the applied design and analysis work to which this software is to be applied. To pursue the evaluation or procurement of an alternate software service would be both operationally cost and time prohibitive.
