About this file
This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name related to a federal contract opportunity for a Global Navigation Satellite System Study for Improved Performance.
The recommendation is to negotiate a sole source contract with The MITRE Corporation for this task, which has an estimated cost of and period of performance from 10/01/2024 to 11/30/2025. The justification states that MITRE is uniquely positioned to continue this work based on their previous efforts and expertise in this narrow field. Using another vendor would delay the project and likely result in a lower quality final product. The related federal contract opportunity is a Special Notice for this sole source requirement issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center.

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 The MITRE Corporation only for The Global Navigation Satellite System Study for Improved Performance FY24-FY25 Task. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 10/01/2024 - 11/30/2025.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☐I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from Manufacture Name for Enter Supply or Service to be procured. The total estimated cost of this effort is Enter Dollar amount and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is Date.
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.
A modeling and simulation (M&S) capability is currently being developed in collaboration with The MITRE Corporation to assess and forecast the quality of service of navigation systems of interest to NASA. The continued development of this capability is critical for activities under the System-Wide Safety (SWS) project related to Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) operations. The MITRE corporation is uniquely positioned to continue work on this task based on previous work and known expertise in this exceedingly narrow field.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Using a vendor other than MITRE will delay aspects of the SWS project given the speed at which this task can be completed by MITRE. Additionally, the quality of the final product will likely not be up to the same caliber that MITRE can produce given their previous work, history and expertise on similar tasks.
