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 with only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from Kohler for MTU Programmed ADEC ECMS. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 6 Weeks.

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.

Due to the specific brand of the Kohler generators, we must have the correct make and model ECMs to support the generators to function at full capacity. Brand name MTU/Model ADEC (PN X00E5020- 9162) and (PN-X00E5020-5261). The ECMs must be programmed for a Kohler Generator (Model

3250RE0ZD).

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

Using a different brand ECMs that is incompatible with these specific Kohler generators could potentially result in the requirement to re-purchase new ECMs. Each ECM would approximately cost
