About this file
This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name form for an Advanced Cable Tester v2 from Total Phase. The document justifies a brand name acquisition based on unique technical requirements, specifically seeking a reconfigurable cable tester capable of testing continuity/shorts/opens, DC resistance, and signal integrity for USB, HDMI, and DisplayPort cables. The technical user conducted an exhaustive online search and determined no competitors offer a comparable product that meets their specific branch requirements.
The solicitation is associated with contract number 80NSSC25903087Q, with an estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery set for 06/01/2025. The document indicates there would be no significant impact if another vendor could meet the technical specifications, suggesting openness to alternative solutions that can match the detailed testing capabilities. The form is dated 3-15-2017 (version 2.0) and was completed by a technical user on 5/21/2025, signaling NASA's intent to procure a specialized cable testing solution with very specific technical parameters.

After an exhaustive online search, I have been unable to find any competitors that offer a reconfigurable cable tester that will meet the branch’s requirements. These include being capable of testing for continuity/shorts/opens, DC resistance, and signal integrity of USB, HDMI, and
DisplayPort cables.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
