Brand Name Justification:

☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject band name from FLIR for FLIR A8580 InSb (1.5 - 5.0μm), 1280x1024,f/2.5, 44Hz GigE/60Hz CXP &FPO MWIR 50mm Lens & Calibration Package. 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.

This camera will be used to detect and track regolith particles as small as 50 microns. This specific camera is able to distinguish between regolith and background material/surface (regolith vs Habitation surface or EVA suit for example). This is the only camera on the market with this capability and the center does not already have a camera like it. Specific build specs for accomplishing this task were negotiated between myself, the supplier, and other potential camera users on center.

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 vendor or brand is used the camera will not have the correct capability to complete the task.

This camera is compatible with EV and ER software that is already in place.
