About this file
This is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source form recommending sole source procurement of testing and consulting services from the Center for Biofilm Engineering (CBE) for the period of January 2025-December 2025.
The justification cites CBE's unique capability to provide biofilm formation testing and consulting services, noting their existing relationship with the NASA biofilm group and previous contract experience. The document argues that using another vendor would result in lost time and knowledge transfer due to other institutions' lack of expertise, and would severely delay the FY25 biofilm prevention schedule. The document is dated January 28, 2025 and is version 2.0 from March 15, 2017. The redacted form shows this is associated with solicitation number 80NSSC25894352Q for consulting, publications, and hydrogen peroxide-related tasks.

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 Center for Biofilm Engineering only for testing and consulting services. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is January 2025-December 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.
Center for Biofilm Engineering is able to provide consulting and testing services for biofilm formation problems in a capacity unparalleled by another institution. With an already working relationship with the NASA biofilm group, along with previous contract experience, CBE is in a unique position to support biofilm consulting and testing services.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Time and knowledge transfer would be lost due to the lack of expertise of other institutions, along with a loss of a valuable relationship and partnership with CBE. The FY25 biofilm prevention schedule would be severely delayed.
