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 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 Wilson Fire Equipment for Fire Suppression Systems Upgrade. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 30 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.

Wilson Fire maintains the current CO2 fire suppression systems located at the Sonny Carter Training Facility (SCTF) Software Development Integration Laboratory (SDIL). The two systems are designed to extinguish and control fires until firefighters arrive at the facility. They are vital for life-safety and property protection. The current systems are in need of new sirens, time delay modules, and odorizers.

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

It’s important that the upgrade consists of similar/like products that will function with the existing hardware. Maintaining Wilson Fire products will mitigate any performance incompatibilities with the current system. This is critical to maintain the safety of the facility.
