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 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 15 days after award.

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 Hesco Bastion Inc. for blast barrier protection. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 2 weeks after award.

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? The blast barriers from Hesco have unique characteristics and have a time tested record of blast protection us by the United States Military and have been used all over the world. These components are uniquely compatible with the existing design parameters needed for this specific project, which is why only the specified source/brand can meet the performanceand reliability needs.

2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand was used? If another brand were used, the government would face added cost, schedule delays, and compatibility issues, since a substitute would not meet the established design and configuration needs. In this case, using a different vendor would require design rework and could delay delivery.
