About this file

This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source form for a sole source procurement. NASA is seeking to acquire fourteen 240 C RT 3 A586 industrial pressure transducers, six 240 C RM 3 A586 industrial pressure transducers, two 240 D RM 3 A586 pressure transducers, and three 240 C PV 3 A586 industrial pressure transducers from GP:50 as flight spare components. The procurement is specifically tailored to match sensor selections from a prior project, with the test article being manufactured to mechanically and electrically interface with these specific sensors.

The document justifies the sole source procurement by explaining that alternative vendors or brands would require alterations to the test article's mechanical and electrical interfaces, which is not feasible at this stage. The estimated lead time for delivery is 10 weeks, and the procurement is critical to maintaining the project's technical approach and compatibility requirements. The form is dated 3-15-2017 and includes a future date of 6/18/2025 for technical user review and approval.

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 GP:50 only for fourteen 240 C

RT 3 A586 industrial pressure transducers, six 240 C RM 3 A586 industrial pressure transducers, two 240

D RM 3 A586 pressure transducers, and three 240 C PV 3 A586 industrial pressure transducers. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 10 weeks.

This recommendation is for the acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available from only one source/only one manufacturer. 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 procurement is for flight spares, and therefore the requirements and quantities were defined to match sensor selections made for a prior project procurement. This is because the test article is being manufactured to mechanically and electrically interface with this type of sensor.

2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.

The project technical approach depends on mechanical and electrical interfaces that are compatible with the requested procurement. Choosing an alternative would require alterations to the test article mechanical and electrical interfaces which is not possible at this point.
