About this file
This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source form for high-speed connectors. The document justifies a sole source procurement from Glenair, the only manufacturer identified that meets the project's specific technical requirements. NASA determined that Glenair provides a connector with the necessary small footprint and signal speed specifications, and using an alternative vendor would require significant redesign of the connector board and mechanical enclosure, potentially causing project delays of at least one month. The estimated period of performance is 4 weeks after award, with the document dated 5/23/2025, indicating a future procurement action for specialized electronic connectors critical to the project's technical specifications.

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 GLENAIR only for the high-speed connectors listed on the attached quote. The total estimated cost of this effort is (estimated) and the estimated period of performance is 4 weeks after award 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 Manufacture Name for Enter Supply or Service to be procured.
The total estimated cost of this effort is Enter Dollar amount 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 company listed above is the only company that has a connector that matches the footprint we require while meeting all other specification criteria needed for the connector. The project has looked at multiple companies that manufacture connectors but only GLENAIR provides a connector that has a small enough footprint while meeting the signal speed requirements for the project.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
If the project is not able to procure the exact connectors, we would have to redesign the connector board which would take at minimum a month of work. The board would also likely have to increase in size which would result in a change to our mechanical enclosure design which would cause further delays in the project timeline.
