About this file
This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name form for a Mastercam Support Renewal. The Fabrication Division at Glenn Research Center requires a brand name justification for renewing annual maintenance and support for existing Mastercam software licenses originally purchased in 2019. The solicitation covers Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software used to create, modify, and analyze 2D drawings and 3D models, with a performance period from 04/01/2025 to 03/31/2026.
The document justifies the sole source procurement by highlighting that no alternative software brand will satisfy NASA's requirements or be compatible with current Mastercam licenses. Without continued support, the Fabrication Division technicians would be unable to efficiently create and modify technical drawings, which would substantially increase time and manufacturing costs for research hardware. The total estimated cost for this support renewal is redacted, but the procurement is specifically targeted to CNC Software, LLC as the sole provider.

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 Vendor Name only 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.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from CNC Software, LLC for Mastercam Support Renewal. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 04/01/2025 – 03/31/2026.
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.
The Fabrication Division at Glenn Research Center requires the renewal of annual maintenance and support for existing Mastercam software licenses that were purchased in 2019. Mastercam is a Computer- Aided Design (CAD) software use to create, modify, and analyze 2D drawings or 3D models.
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 brand of maintenance will satisfy agency requirements as it would not be compatible with the Mastercam licenses currently in use. Without continued use and support, Fabrication Division technicians would be unable to efficiently create, modify, and analyze 2D drawings or 3D models in the manufacturing of research hardware. These tasks would then need to be done manually therefore increasing time and cost to manufacture research hardware.
