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. NASA intends to negotiate exclusively with Curtiss-Wright for specific data acquisition system components, including one KAM-500 chassis, five 100mV 16-channel bridge analog-to-digital converters, one 10V 16-channel bridge analog-to-digital converter, one cold junction block, and two heat sinks for the KAM-500 system. The total estimated cost is redacted, with a 20-week delivery timeline.
The justification for the sole source procurement centers on maintaining a consistent data acquisition architecture across project deliverables. NASA argues that using alternative hardware would negatively impact project schedules and costs, potentially requiring significant rework to ensure compatibility with existing computer systems. The technical approach specifically depends on using a uniform data acquisition system across all project components, making Curtiss-Wright the only viable vendor for this specific requirement.

RECOMMENDATION AND DETERMINATION TO SOLICIT FROM ONE SOURCE

Sole Source:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with Curtiss-Wright only for one
KAM/CHS/13U/E KAM-500 chassis, five KAD/ADC/134/B/100M 100mV 16-channel bridge analog-to-digital converters, one KAD/ADC/134/B/10V 10 V 16-channel bridge analog-to-digital converter, one
ACD/CJB/003 cold junction block, and two ACC/HSK/001/13U heat sinks for the KAM-500 system. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 20 weeks.
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.
The required scanning system is required due to the project using Curtiss-Wright data acquisition systems for other project deliverables. The project requires that we have a single data acquisition architecture that is shared among all project deliverables.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
The project technical approach depends on using a single data acquisition approach among all project deliverables. The specified procurement allows the deliverable to which it will be applied to maintain parity with other project deliverable architectures. If a different data acquisition approach is needed due to using different hardware, schedule and cost will be negatively impacted due to the effort required to implement the alternative. Furthermore, alternative hardware may not be compatible with the architecture’s computer selections without significant rework.
