About this file

This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name for the procurement of shock testing of reefing line cutters. The NASA Shared Services Center recommends negotiating with Element U.S Space & Defense as the sole source provider for this effort, with a total estimated cost of an undisclosed amount and an estimated period of performance of 4 months. The justification cites the unique characteristics of the required services and the extensive time and expense that would be required to obtain similar testing from another source. The related federal contract opportunity is a special notice for a sole source requirement for environmental testing of reefing line cutters, issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center.
