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 Company X only for The total estimated cost of this effort is 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 band name from Millipore Sigma for Milli-Q IQ7015 DI Water System. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is N/A.
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 DI Water system that will be procured will be for a Bioengineering lab that does hardware development for search for life projects. For these types of projects, the water has to be absolutely pure to avoid organics from the water being introduced into the system. The Milli-Q IQ7015 DI water system provides both type 1 and type 2 purified water which is required for use in search for life projects.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand was used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
If the proper type of water is not used when either cleaning the hardware or when using the hardware, then false readings of organics can result. This would affect mission success criteria and the quality of the hardware.
