Brand Name Justification:

☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject band name from Gridless Power Corporation & Verkada Systems Inc.for Verkada Camera Systems and Accessories. The total estimated cost of this effort is $ and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 30 days ARO.

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.

Verkada camera systems easily configure with existing systems while providing improved capabilities and unmatched quality. This brand is more efficient to maintain and expand current product lines instead of multiple camera systems requiring multiple licenses and maintenance requirements. Procuring the same brand that is already in use, ensures full compatibility with the existing infrastructure, Command platform, cloud storage and analytics.

2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.

If we were to deviate from Verkada Systems, the impact will cause downtime during critical periods within the program's timeline. Verkada systems have been tested and currently in operation on center.

Introducing new camera equipment will require testing/verifying camera compatibility with current systems as well as additional licensing and maintenance requirements specific to a new brand.There are a multitude of cost impacts that would affect the government including, increased setup costs, and the loss of bundled services for hardware, this will impact the government financially, in the long run.
