About this file
This is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source document from NASA Shared Services Center, recommending a sole source procurement of transducers from TransData Inc. The document specifies a 7-week delivery timeline and indicates these units are exact replacements for equipment used in testing at the 10x10 facility.
The justification explains that these transducers are critical components of the Speed Control System that protects seven 41,250 HP motors in the main and secondary drives. The units have specific requirements of 4-20mA and come in three types: current, voltage, and wattage. TransData Inc is cited as a reliable manufacturer with 40+ years of experience and a long history of government contracts. The document argues that using alternative vendors would require modifications to mounting brackets and wiring, resulting in additional costs and potentially impacting the facility's ability to test and support the Power Punch system, which reportedly saves the government thousands of dollars. The document is dated January 24, 2025.

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 TransData Inc only for transducers. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 7 weeks.
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.
These units are exact replacements for units utilized during all testing at 10x10. These units are part of the Speed Control System that protects the seven 41,250 HP motors in the main and secondary drives.
TransData Inc is a reliable manufacturer of 40+ years and has done business with the government for a large portion of that time. The unit specs are 4-20mA and we use three different types: current, voltage, and wattage in our Speed Control System.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
If other units are purchased the mounting brackets and wiring will need to be modified. The purchase of any other units would likely require modifications that would result in extra costs in time, money, and material to the government. Without these units, we will not be able to test and/or support the Power Punch that saves the government thousands of dollars.
