About this file
This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name for a five-blade composite propeller for the NASA LaRC B-200 (N529NA) aircraft. The NASA Shared Services Center recommends negotiating a sole source contract with Raisbeck Engineering for this propeller, which is a unique part required to upgrade the aircraft's capabilities and performance for future Airborne Science Projects. The total estimated cost is not provided, but the period of performance is before July 31, 2024. The recommendation cites the need for this specialized propeller to meet the aircraft's performance specifications, stating that other vendors do not manufacture a compatible propeller. Selecting an alternate vendor would prohibit the required aircraft upgrades and result in mission failure.

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 Raisbeck Engineering only for 5 Blade Composite Propeller. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is before 31 July 2024.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☐I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with only with vendors who can provide the subject band 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.
This is a unique part supplied only by this vendor and includes documentation to support type certification and continued airworthiness for required upgrades to the LaRC B200 aircraft (N529NA).
Other vendors manufacture King Air propellers, but not to the performance specification required for future King Air operations.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
It will prohibit the required upgrades to expand the capabilities, performance, and envelope of the LaRC B200 aircraft (N529NA) aircraft in support of future Airborne Science Projects. It will also not allow the King Air to take off, land, and cruise at the required performance specifications resulting in mission failure.
