About this file
This document is a Sole Source or Brand Name Justification for the procurement of a HPSC Dev Kit from Microchip Technology Inc. by NASA's Shared Services Center. The justification states that the HPSC Dev Kit is required to facilitate integration for AFRC developers and engineers with current systems that utilize the F Prime framework. The total estimated cost is not provided, but the estimated period of performance is 30 days ARO. The rationale for the sole source or brand name selection is that using an alternative vendor or brand would result in significant financial implications, potentially reaching tens of millions of dollars, due to the necessity of engaging a new company to design and manufacture the required hardware. The related federal contract opportunity solicitation number is 80NSSC24880487Q-1, and it is a brand name requirement.

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 only with vendors who can provide the subject band name from Microchip Technology Inc. for HPSC Dev Kit. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 30 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.
We are purchasing a development kit to facilitate integration for AFRC developers and engineers with current systems that utilize the F Prime framework. To enable these existing systems to collaborate with AFRC and conduct testing, it is essential that we integrate our ground systems with either an autonomous aircraft or a platform featuring an experimental flight control system. This purchase is intended for new equipment. The potential impact of not proceeding with this acquisition would be a lack of capability to interface with existing systems that implement the F Prime framework.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
If an alternative brand is selected, it is anticipated that the financial implications could reach tens of millions of dollars. This is due to the necessity of engaging a new company to design and manufacture the hardware that NASA has already acquired, a process that would require several years to complete.
