About this file
This is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source form recommending that NASA Shared Services Center negotiate solely with NBW Inc for the fabrication of Fission Surface Power irradiation experiment pressure vessels. The estimated delivery date is January 2025.
The justification for sole source procurement states that the pressure vessels must be manufactured by an ASME certified shop with U-stamp certification, as required by NASA GRC PSO. NBW Inc meets all requirements including certification and lead time capabilities. The document indicates that using other vendors would negatively impact both schedule and cost, potentially causing terminal schedule delays. The pressure vessels are needed to support irradiation experiments for the Fission Surface Power project.

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 NBW Inc only for Fission Surface Power irradiation experiment vessel fabrication. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is Jan 2025.
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.
An irradiation experiment is being conducted to support the Fission Surface Power project. This experiment requires the fabrication of pressure vessels. These pressure vessels must be made by an ASME certified shop to provide U-stamp, as directed by NASA GRC PSO. These vessels must be delivered with ample time before the scheduled irradiation. Finding a nearby vendor that can accommodate the lead time and certification are requirements. NBW Inc. satisfies all requirements.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Other vendors will impact schedule and cost, likely leading to terminal schedule slippage.
