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 Hitachi High-Tech America only for maintenance service agreements. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 10/1/24-9/30/25.
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.
Hitachi High-Tech America is the manufacturer of the equipment for which the maintenance agreements are being sought. Hitachi High-Tech America is the sole known vendor capable of providing maintenance for Hitachi S-3700N scanning electron microscopes. They are the primary source of required spare parts for timely repair and have personnel specially trained and certified to service and repair these microscopes.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
There are no other vendors known that have the training, spare parts, and other resources required to provide the support and service required in the maintenance agreement. If another vendor were to propose to offer such services, the cost would be higher due to having to purchase parts from Hitachi with additional markup. Schedule could then be affected due to use of a middle man. Use of non-OEM or non-recommended third party parts could compromise the functionality of the equipment.
