About this file
This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name for a contract to rent an EOS M400 3D printer and obtain consulting services. The recommendation is to negotiate solely with EOS Additive Minds for these services due to the need to maintain the same 3D printer used for prior work to ensure data comparability. The total estimated cost is undefined, with an estimated period of performance of 10/15/24. Changing the 3D printer would make $100,000 of past investment irrelevant and require the work to be redone, significantly impacting the project's progress and success. The related federal contract opportunity is a sole source requirement for an additional 1-month rental of the EOS M400 printer, issued 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 EOS Additive Minds only for M400 printer rental and consultation. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 10/15/24.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☐I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with only with vendors who can provide the subject band name from Manufacture Name 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.
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.
For the past 3 months almost all of the large (do not fit on smaller build platforms) NASA produced GRX-810 samples and components have been manufactured by this vendor. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the same machine for later builds to keep the data comparable. Changing the 3D printer we are currently using will make 100K dollars of past investment irrelevant and that work will need to be redone.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Not using this powder supplier could risk the project one-year worth of data and time. This could significantly impact the progress and success of the project.
