About this file
This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source form from NASA Shared Services Center, recommending a sole source procurement from Nikon Metrology Inc. The procurement is for the installation of a high-capacity turntable on the LaRC Large Volume Computed Tomography System (LVCT). NASA justifies the sole source selection by noting that Nikon Metrology Inc is the original fabricator of the LVCT system, possesses unique knowledge of its functionality, and that using another vendor could potentially void the existing warranty and service contract. The estimated period of performance is within 25 weeks of contract delivery, though the total estimated cost is redacted. The document is dated 3/17/2025 and highlights that compatibility cannot be guaranteed if another vendor performs the installation.

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 Nikon Metrology Inc. only for installation of high-capacity turntable on LaRC Large Volume Computed Tomography System (LVCT).
The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is within 25 weeks of contract delivery.
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.
Nikon Metrology Inc is the fabricator of the LVCT system and has unique and direct knowledge of how it functions. Additionally having a different vendor install the high capacity turn table could void the warranty and the service contract that we have with Nikon to keep the systems functioning properly.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
It is unknown if any vendor in the US could perform the service that we are requesting as Nikon was the fabricator of the eq. and thus compatibility could not be guaranteed.
