About this file
This document is a Brand Name Justification (BNJ) for a proposed sole source procurement of GNSS/GPS survey equipment and software from Trimble. The justification cites the need to integrate the equipment with an existing GIS/GPS survey process and optical survey/total station equipment, as well as the training required for any new equipment. The estimated period of performance is 10 days ARO and the total estimated cost is not provided. The related federal contract opportunity is a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the GNSS/GPS survey equipment, with a solicitation number of 80NSSC24869715Q-1. The RFQ is being issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (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 Vendor only for . The total estimated cost of this effort is Enter Dollar amount and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is Date.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from Trimble for GPS/GNSS sub-centimeter accuracy survey equipment and software. The estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 10 Days ARO.
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.
This equipment is expected to fit into an existing GIS/GPS survey process. Individuals were trained on this type and brand of equipment. We are integrating with an existing optical survey and total station.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
There would be a 2 month delay for training for a different brand and an additional cost for replacing existing equipment. For a different vendor – no cost or schedule impact other than the time to identify a similar quote/equipment.
