About this file
This is a NASA Sole Source Justification form recommending direct negotiations with Texas Tech University (TTU) for a Membrane Assisted BioReactor (MABR) system. The document is dated January 27, 2025, with an estimated period of performance/delivery date of May 15, 2025.
The justification states that NASA has previously funded TTU under multiple grants (MCO, SBIR) to develop this technology for their Surface System wastewater treatment facility. TTU holds patents and publications on this proprietary technology, making them the sole source provider. The system has been custom-built under MCO funding since 2018, and no other vendors are available. The document indicates that supporting publications and patents are available upon request, though the total estimated cost is redacted in the visible portion of the form.

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 Texas Tech University only for the Membrane Assisted BioReactor (MABR). The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is May 15, 2025.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☐I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with only with vendors who can provide the subject brand 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.
NASA has funded TTU under several grants (MCO, SBIR) to develop this technology for infusion into our Surface System wastewater treatment facility. TTU currently has patents and publications on this technology, which makes them a single source for this technology.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
No other vendors are available, since this is a proprietary custom-built system funded under MCO since 2018.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
Publications and patents are available upon request.
