About this file
This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name form for a brand name justification. The document supports a procurement for FY25 Ventraq Support from NetPlus, with a performance period of 07/01/2025 – 06/30/2026. NASA Marshall Space Flight Center requires this procurement to ensure ongoing maintenance and annual calibrations of NASA-owned equipment, citing that introducing an alternative vendor would cause significant disruptions to project timelines, budgets, and staff workflows. The document emphasizes the critical nature of maintaining existing systems and processes, noting that transitioning to a new product would require extensive evaluation, potential staff retraining, and could compromise the operability of NASA equipment.

Brand Name Justification:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from NetPlus for FY25 Ventraq Support. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 07/01/2025 – 06/30/2026.
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 support procurement is necessary to ensure the ongoing maintenance and annual calibrations of NASA owned equipment. Extensive systems, workflows, and other artifacts are in place within NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and this procurement is a continuation of the existing implemented setup. The distinctive features of this product are considered standard in MSFC’s current work processes and system architecture.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
The introduction of a new vendor/product to meet this functional requirement would have repercussions on project timelines, budgets, and staff. Time delays would result from evaluating different products and transitioning to a potentially unfamiliar product. Furthermore, there is a possibility that project team members would need training to become proficient with the alternative product. The overall impact of such a change would be considerable. This procurement for support ensures that the NASA equipment stays operable and calibrated within specification to perform daily work. This procurement is vital to NASA’s past investment. To pursue the evaluation or procurement of an alternate service would be both operationally cost and time prohibitive.
