About this file
This is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source form from NASA Shared Services Center justifying a sole source procurement for a Digital Printhead assembly from 3D Systems. The procurement is for a replacement laser part for an existing SLA 3D printer, with an estimated period of performance of 3 weeks after award.
The sole source justification is based on 3D Systems being the original manufacturer of the printer and the only vendor able to provide the repair part. NASA has an existing standard maintenance agreement with 3D Systems running through February 9, 2025, which provides a 20% discount on parts, onsite labor support, and next business day parts shipping. Using another vendor could void this maintenance agreement. While the current agreement doesn't cover the laser specifically, maintaining the relationship with the OEM is deemed critical for cost and schedule benefits.

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 3D Systems only for Digital Printhead assembly. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance is 3 weeks after award.
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.
3D Systems is the maker of this printer. They are they only one that is able to provide this part for repair.
Also we have a standard maintenance agreement under which runs out in February 9, 2025. This agreement did not cover the laser, however with this plan, the Government gets a 20% discount on parts along with Onsite Labor support and next business day parts shipping.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
The Government would be impacted if another company tries to provide due to the preventative maintenance plan we have in place could void the agreement. Also the 20% discount and onsite labor and next delivery is a big impact for cost and schedule.
