About this file
This is a Brand Name Justification form from NASA Shared Services Center recommending procurement of Leviton fiber optic cassettes and cabling for the Propulsion Systems Laboratory at Glenn Research Center. The document indicates this is a brand name procurement rather than a sole source procurement.
The justification cites that Leviton hardware is already installed at the facility with proven reliability, and additional fiber optic infrastructure using the same vendor's product line is needed for an upcoming test in Spring 2025. The items are Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products. The agency states that using a different vendor's hardware risks compatibility issues and would require additional procurements that would delay meeting the project's testing schedule. The period of performance extends to January 24, 2025. The estimated cost amount is redacted in the document. The form is dated December 10, 2024.

PICK ONE
Sole Source:

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 Leviton for Fiber Optic cassettes and cabling. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 1/24/25.
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.
This procurement is for the continuation of additional fiber optic infrastructure to be installed at the Propulsion Systems Laboratory at Glenn Research Center required for an upcoming test for the Spring ’25. We currently have installed the vendor’s hardware with proven reliability and are continuing with the vendor’s product line for the next phase of the installation. The items to be ordered are Commercially Off - The Shelf (COT’s) items. I will be attaching one quote.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
There is the potential risk of incompatibility with the hardware. Additional procurements would be required to which will cause scheduling delays meeting the projects schedule testing date.
