About this file
This document is a Sole Source Justification for the procurement of Nb Alloy Extreme ISF Surface Enhancement Development Work from REM Surface Engineering.
REM Surface Engineering is the only vendor capable of providing the required proprietary chemical polishing and chemical mechanical polishing technology for enhancing additive manufactured parts made from refractory metals like Nb Alloys. The total estimated cost is not provided, but the period of performance is 6 months after sample receipt. Use of another vendor is not possible due to REM's patent protections, and failure to procure these services would lead to missed project milestones and loss of government funding. The related federal contract opportunity is a Sole Source requirement for REM Surface Engineering to provide Nb-Alloy Surface Enhancements to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center.

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION
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 REM Surface Engineering only for Nb Alloy Extreme ISF Surface Enhancement Development Work. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 6 months after sample receival.
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.
REM has a proprietary technology to enhance additive manufactured parts via chemical polishing and chemical mechanical polishing. The technique has proven to be the only technique useful for the development of surface enhancement for refractory metals like Nb Alloys. Because this is a proprietary technology REM Surface Engineering is the only company that can provide the service for post-processing and surface enhancement development work of Nb-alloys.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Procurement will not be possible since no other vendor is capable of providing the desired product per patent protections. There is no other vendor to be used. If NASA does not fulfill this procurement this would lead to missed project milestone and loss of time and government funding.
