About this file
This document contains a recommendation and determination to solicit from one source for the acquisition of two RTG4 Development Kits. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center plans to negotiate solely with Microsemi SoC Corp. to procure the kits for use on the Clio HSRL flight project. Reusing these specific development boards enables continued work with existing firmware and software developed for prior projects. Qualifying alternative boards would require additional labor and costs to adapt work to different hardware. The total estimated cost of this effort is redacted and the anticipated period of performance is three weeks from contract award.

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 Name only for Web of .
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 band name from Microsemi SoC Corp. for RTG4 Development Kit. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is THREE weeks from the execution of the procurement.
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.
NASA has designed hardware for the RTG4 FPGA in the past and is doing so for the Clio HSRL flight project as well. This procurement is for two development boards for this FPGA which enable additional firmware and software development efforts as well as electronic prototyping opportunities. This development board has been used in the past for other projects and as such there are reuse opportunities for RTG4 kits as well as existing firmware/software developed and changing to other boards will incur additional labor costs to use.
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 board is used, code development for it would no longer have a good path to flight. The inability to reuse existing firmware and software will incur a significant cost and risk to the government to redevelop functions.
