About this file
This document is a Sole Source/Brand Name Justification recommending that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center negotiate only with the vendor Stancil Corporation for a Stancil Voice Logging Recorder.
The justification states the Stancil Voice Logging Recorder is required as a software testing tool and backup to the current production unit. The distinctive features of this product are considered standard in NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's (GSFC) current work processes and system architecture. Using an alternative vendor/brand would have significant negative impacts on project timelines, budgets, and staff due to compatibility issues and the need for evaluation and training. The total estimated cost is undisclosed, with an estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery of 20 days after receipt of order.
The related federal contract opportunity is a Special Notice for the Stancil Voice Logging Recorder, with a solicitation number of 80NSSC24879819Q. It specifies the requirement is for the brand name product from authorized resellers only.

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 only for Product being purchased . 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 only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from Stancil Corporation for Stancil Voice Logging Recorder.
The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 20 days 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.
The unit is to be installed in the lab environment for use as a software testing tool and as a backup to the current production unit. Extensive systems, workflows, and other artifacts are in place within NASA GSFC and this procurement is a continuation of the existing implemented setup. The distinctive features of this product are considered standard in GSFC’s current work processes and system architecture.
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 not be feasible to conduct software compatibility testing with equipment from another vendor. The introduction of a new vendor/product to meet this functional requirement would have repercussions on project timelines, budgets, and staff. Time delays would result from evaluating different products and transitioning to a potentially unfamiliar product. Furthermore, there is a possibility that project team members would need training to become proficient with the alternative product. The overall impact of such a change would be considerable. To pursue the evaluation or procurement of an alternate hardware solution would be both operationally cost and time prohibitive.
