About this file
This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name form for Plasma Ropes. The document justifies a brand name requirement specifically for Cortland ropes, citing the necessity of using the same brand rope for test data correlation and maintaining consistent test setups. NASA indicates that using non-Cortland ropes may negatively impact testing by potentially providing different loading responses, which could compromise data comparison and potentially lead to customer questioning of test results.
The solicitation (Number 80NSSC25901550Q) is marked as a brand name requirement for Plasma Ropes, targeting authorized resellers only. The estimated period of performance is 8/1/25, with the total estimated cost redacted. The technical justification emphasizes the critical nature of using consistent rope brands to ensure scientific testing integrity and continuity of research data across multiple test scenarios.

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 Name only for Supply or Service to be procured. The total estimated cost of this effort is Dollar Amount and the estimated period of performance is 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 Cortland for Plasma Ropes. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 8/1/25.
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.
Cortland branded ropes are the ones the facility has used in prior test. Due to the nature of our tes�ng, it is necessary that we use the same brand rope to help data correla�on and keep test setups similar between tests.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Non-Cortland ropes may not provide the same loading response during tes�ng. This difference in response may cause difficul�es in comparing older test data to any newly acquired data using a different brand of rope. If this is the case it could cause any future test data to be ques�oned by our customer and loss of tes�ng to the LandIR facility.
