About this file
This document is a Brand Name Justification (BNJ) for a federal contract opportunity. The BNJ recommends that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the Tektronix Keithley 2470 Source Measure Unit and Keithley Triax to Banana Cable Assembly. The total estimated cost is not provided, but the lead-time for delivery is 6 weeks ARO. The justification states that the Tektronix Keithley brand name is required because they are the only manufacturer that can provide the requested hardware meeting NASA's requirement for +/- 1000V Source Measurement capability, 10fA measurement resolution on the 10nA range, and a 5-inch color display. A market survey was conducted, and no other manufacturers including Keysight and Rohde and Schwarz could meet the requirement. If another brand is substituted, there is a high likelihood of incompatibility with existing hardware and software, which could result in significant costs to re-design the detector measurement setup.

Brand Name Justification:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject band name from Tektronix Inc. AND Keithley Instruments for Keithley Triax to Banana Cable Assembly & Tektronix Keithley 2470 Source Measure Unit. The lead-time for delivery is 6 weeks 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.
The Tektronix Keithley brand name is requested because they are the only manufacturer that can provide the requested hardware meeting NASA's requirement for +/- 1000V Source Measurement capability along with 10fA measurement resolution on the 10nA range and provide a 5-inch color display needed to aid operators in visualizing the measurement result. A market survey was conducted and no other manufacturers including Keysight and Rohde and Schwarz could meet the requirement.
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 is substituted there is a high likelihood of incompatibly with existing hardware and software which could result in significant costs to re-design the detector measurement setup.
