About this file
This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name from the NASA Shared Services Center. It provides justification for a sole source procurement of a Slipring assembly ST6262887 from Wabtec Company, the original manufacturer of the part. The total estimated cost is undisclosed, with a 36-week delivery lead time after award. The part is required for NASA's NPOL S-band radar, which is critical to the ongoing Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Ground Validation program. The document states that the radar cannot operate without this replacement part, and that competition is impractical as Wabtec is the sole provider of this specific, compatible part.
The related Federal Contract Opportunity Summary indicates that NASA NSSC intends to issue a sole source contract to Wabtec Company for the Slipring assembly under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). The procurement will use FAR Part 12 and 13 procedures for commercial items. Interested parties may submit their capabilities in writing by 8/14/2024 to determine if the procurement should be competed.
