About this file
This document is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a 2kV, 50kW Unidirectional DC Power Supply from Magna-Power Electronics Inc. The agency issuing the RFQ is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The total estimated cost is not provided, but the estimated period of performance is 12 weeks ARO. This is a brand name justification, as the power supply must be from Magna-Power due to compatibility requirements with existing equipment and software. The procurement is set aside for small businesses, and authorized resellers of Magna-Power products are the only eligible offerors. The RFQ includes specific technical requirements for the power supply, and requests delivery to the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Offerors must provide their CAGE code, UEI number, delivery time/lead time, and any applicable discounts.

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 Vendor Name only 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.
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 Magna-Power for 2kV, 50kW Unidirectional DC Power Supply. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 12 weeks 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.
Magna-Power sources are already used extensively in our labs. Our group has confidence that these supplies will work satisfactorily, and very importantly, will be electrically compatible with other Magna- Power supplies on the same electrical bus in the lab. Also, we have digital infrastructure built around the firmware for these supplies that only work with this brand for telemetry and command communications.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Similar to the rationale above: deviating from the Magna-Power brand would incur risk of extra development time to force two different power supplies to be compatible with each other on the same electrical network. Similarly, it would take extra development time to develop new communications software/firmware to automatically control a new brand of supply.
