About this file
This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source form for Kintek calibration modules. The document justifies a sole source procurement from KIN-TEK Analytical, citing that existing calibration modules are obsolete and can no longer maintain stable calibration. The key rationale for single-source procurement includes compatibility with existing hardware, avoiding additional costs of replacing equipment, and preventing the need for retraining and procedure rewrites.
The procurement has an estimated lead time of 6 weeks, with the technical user signing the document on 3/27/2025. The form emphasizes that using an alternative vendor would require replacing existing hardware, incur additional training costs, and potentially compromise accuracy and reliability. The sole source justification is based on the unique characteristics of the Kintek modules and the specific technical requirements of the 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 KIN-TEK Analytical only for modules. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 6 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.
Our existing Kintek calibration modules are obsolete and can no longer hold a calibration that does not drift significantly. These new Kintek calibration modules will be a drop in replacement. They are compatible with our existing hardware.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
If another brand is used this will incur more cost to the government because we would have to replace existing hardware to be compatible with the new hardware. Additionally, we will have to train on the use of the different brand and re-write procedures. Also, another brand may not be as accurate and reliable as this brand.
