About this file
This document is a Sole Source or Brand Name Justification to solicit from a single source for MB Projects Hardware. NASA Ames Research Center requires these specific hardware products from PTZOptics, Blackmagic Design, Magewell, Teradek, StarTech.com, Focusrite, and Shure in order to maintain compatibility with their existing systems and workflow. Using a new vendor or brand would result in significant schedule delays, budget impacts, and the need for user training. The total estimated cost is undefined, but the delivery timeline is 30 days. This is a continuation of NASA's current implementation, and they have determined that competition is impractical due to the unique characteristics and standard nature of the required products within their existing architecture.

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 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 PTZOptics, Blackmagic Design, Inc., Nanjing Magewell Electronics Co., Ltd., Teradek, LLC, StarTech.com USA L.L.P., Focusrite Audio Engineering, Ltd., and Shure Incorporated for MB Projects Hardware. 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.
NASA Ames Research Center (ARC) currently has systems using this hardware implemented throughout the center. The chosen vendor must remain within the same product family to ensure compatibility. The distinctive features of these products are considered standard in ARC’s current work processes and system architecture. This procurement is a continuation of the existing implemented setup.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
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.
