About this file
This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source form for NASA Shared Services Center, specifically recommending a sole source procurement from ZEISS for extended warranty services for ATOS and TRITOP hardware. The document justifies the sole source selection based on ZEISS's proprietary technologies, with a proposed one-year contract period starting after the current contract's expiration on May 1, 2025.
Key details include the rationale that ZEISS has sole propriety to the ATOS/TRITOP technologies, with no other vendor capable of satisfying the requirement or maintaining compatibility with existing hardware and software systems. The document explicitly states that using alternative vendors would void existing warranties and maintenance contracts, further substantiating the need for a sole source procurement directly with ZEISS for hardware and software maintenance services.

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 ZEISS only for Extended Warranty for ZEISS ATOS and TRITOP hardware. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 1 year from expiration of current on May 1, 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.
Zeiss ATOS/TRITOP has sole propriety to the technologies involved in the ATOS/TRITOP tools. No other vendor satisfies this requirement. ZEISS has the capability to perform the hardware and software maintenance, yet maintains compatibility with peripheral hardware and software systems.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
The attempted use of other sources will void vendor warranties and/or maintenance contracts. ZEISS has sole propriety to the technologies involved in the ATOS/TRITOP hardware. No other vendor satisfies this requirement.
