About this file
This document contains a recommendation and determination to solicit from one source or brand name. The recommendation is for the acquisition of four Hubbell HBLS5100C9W switched IEC pin and sleeve connectors from Hubbell. The total estimated cost is redacted and the estimated period of performance is 60 days. The justification provided is that the Hubbell connector is an approved disconnect device that adds an additional layer of safety for technicians working with the equipment. No other company provides an IEC pin and sleeve connector with the same capabilities. If another vendor or brand was used, it would result in the loss of a designed-in safety layer. Redesigning the system for another connector would take 6 to 8 months and cost an additional $10,000 to $15,000.
The related federal contract opportunity is solicitation number 80NSSC23847960Q for Gordon Cart Materials from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center. No other details are provided about the opportunity.

OR
Brand Name Justification:

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 Hubbell HBLS5100C9W switched IEC pin and sleeve connector is an approved disconnect device adding an additional layer of safety for the technicians that are working with the equipment. No other company provides an IEC pin and sleeve connector with the same capabilities.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand was used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
No other company has an approved disconnect IEC Pin and Sleeve connector, without this connector we will loose a layer of safety that we have designed into the system. To update the design will cost 6 to 8 months of NRE and an additional 10 to 15k in hardware.
