About this file
This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source form for a sole source procurement. The procurement involves acquiring a PCDMIS CAD++ Offline Floating License from Hexagon AB, including one seat, a MyCare PCDMIS Protection/Update Plan for one year, and an annual calibration for a Fanamation Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). NASA is justifying the sole source procurement based on Hexagon Metrology's long-standing relationship as the exclusive provider of software and maintenance for their CMM equipment, with specific licensing and security codes required for operation. The document emphasizes that alternative vendors would cause compatibility issues, potential system downtime, and disruption to their measurement capabilities, making Hexagon the only viable vendor for this maintenance and licensing renewal.

☐I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from Manufacture Name for Product being purchased . The total estimated cost of this effort is $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.
Hexagon Metrology is the provider of, and the software of choice we received during the initial purchase of our Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM). Since the software requires specific licenses and security codes to operate each machine, and Hexagon Metrology supplies these licenses and codes, the proprietary rights for the maintenance contract are held by them. This maintenance agreement is essential to ensure the continued accurate function of the equipment and to cover any necessary repairs.
Additionally, the agreement includes annual calibrations performed by a qualified Hexagon Metrology technician, in accordance with LMS standards.
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 vendor other than Hexagon were used, it would not be compatible with the existing hardware in place. This would also result in downtime of the current system in trying to implement a new software and service for the maintenance. Hexagon has been the sole vendor for our Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) for over 30 years. With the purchase of additional CMMs, they have consistently demonstrated excellence in quality, performance, and support, ensuring our continued ability to provide highly accurate measurements. Renewal of the maintenance agreement from Hexagon is necessary for continued support.
