About this file
This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source form from the NASA Shared Services Center, recommending a sole source procurement from RSMeans of The Gordian Group for a Network Agreement for Costworks CD. The agreement is for NASA Langley Research Center's Center Operations Directorate, covering facility engineering support and construction/maintenance estimation tools. The total estimated contract period is from 02/15/2026 to 02/15/2027, with the justification being the continued use of a 20-year established software product that allows both the center and its base operations contractor to estimate construction methods, projects, labor, and material costs. The document emphasizes that using an alternative vendor would prevent the prime contractor from effectively pricing and estimating construction/facility work, thereby necessitating the sole source selection.

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 RSMeans from The Gordian Group only for RSMeans Network Agreement for Costworks CD. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 02/15/2026 – 02/15/2027.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☐I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from Manufacture Name for Product being purchased . The total estimated cost of this effort is $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 RSMeans renewal is needed for continued use at the Center Operations Directorate at Langley Research Center which deems that only one source is appropriate for this acquisition. NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) Center Operations Directorate (COD) supplements its facility engineering support with support from its base operations contractor. This product allows both groups to estimate facility construction/maintenance methods, projects, labor, and material. This product has been in use on the O&M contract for 20 years. In an effort to continue the same level of support on the contract, COD plans to renew the agreement for support of the network licenses.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
If another brand’s software service other than RSMeans was used, our prime contractor will not have the tools necessary to price and estimate construction/facility work, in addition to not being able to maintain the existing support. Therefore, continued use is needed to continue the same level of support on the CMOE contract.
