About this file
This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name for the procurement of 33 XTEH-10L-190S-200A-1 sensors and 10 XTEH-10L-190S-100A-1 sensors from Kulite Semiconductor Products, Inc. The total estimated cost is undisclosed, with a 24-week delivery timeline. The sole-source justification is that the required sensors uniquely meet the size and functional requirements outlined in the project design and requirements documents. Using an alternative vendor would result in the project failing to meet specific high-frequency data collection requirements in a high-temperature environment, leading to the project not meeting its overall funded goals. The related federal contract opportunity is a Special Notice for a sole-source requirement for high-temperature pressure transducers, to be procured by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration 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 Kulite Semiconductor Products, Inc. only for thirty-three XTEH-10L-190S-200A-1 sensors and ten XTEH-10L-190S-100A-1 sensors. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 24 weeks.
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 required sensor is needed because it uniquely meets size and functional requirements outlined in project design and requirements documents.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
The project technical approach has been developed in such a way requiring sensor capabilities that are fulfilled by the specified item. If the specified brand name is not used, then the project will fail to meet specific documented requirements related to the collection of high frequency data in a high temperature environment. This will result in the project not meeting its overall funded goals and marginalizing value to project stakeholders. Alternatives would also require additional verification testing, causing out-of-scope funding and schedule commitments.
