About this file
This document is a Justification for Sole Source or Brand Name acquisition for the renewal of a SciTools Understand-Single Developer Subscription. NASA Shared Services Center recommends negotiating only with the incumbent vendor, Emenda, to provide this software subscription renewal. The total estimated cost is undisclosed, with a period of performance from 8/23/2024 to 8/22/2025. The justification cites the need to maintain compatibility with existing software and training materials, as well as the lack of alternative vendors for this specialized code browsing product. The corresponding federal contract opportunity is a brand name requirement for this FY24 SciTools renewal, solicited by the 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 only for SciTools Understand-
Single Developer Subscription Renewal. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 8/23/2024-8/22/2025.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject band name for SciTools Understand-Single Developer Subscription Renewal. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 8/23/2024-8/22/2025.
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 product must match the existing brand of software for compatibility reasons. This product is only available from only one supplier (Emenda). This code browsing product is an integral software component (maintenance/subscription) and will collide seamlessly with our already existing software.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
If we were to deviate from using the Scitools software, it will cause an interruption in service and ultimately lead to workflow issues. While other code browsing software exists, only this software will perform code browsing activities in a manner consistent with existing training materials and analyst expertise.
