About this file
This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source form from NASA Shared Services Center, recommending a sole source procurement from Odysseyspace, Inc. for opto-mechanical design and fabrication. The total estimated contract cost is unspecified, with a 12-month performance period for developing and delivering mission design and electrical-opto-mechanical systems for the Mather Mission CubeSat instrument.
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center justifies the sole source selection based on Odysseyspace's unique capabilities, including end-to-end mission optimization, flight dynamics, mass analysis, and testing expertise. The company is described as having critical mission-specific knowledge, past experience with NASA missions, and the ability to integrate instruments through third-party vendors and university interfaces. Without Odysseyspace's participation, NASA indicates it would be unable to deliver the mission's critical goals related to studying and deciphering secrets of the universe.

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 Odysseyspace, Inc. only for opto-mechanical design and fabrication. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 12 months.
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 Statement of Work requires the participation of Odysseyspace, Inc. to develop and deliver the mission design and electrical-opto-mechanical systems to support the Mission and Flight Instrument for the Mather Mission. Odysseyspace is uniquely suited with end-to-end mission optimization, flight dynamics, mass analysis, and testing expertise in same location. Odysseyspace possesses past experience with a variety of NASA missions and program management functions. They have unique knowledge of the mission spacecraft solution and the need to integrate instrument to the spacecraft through a third-party vendors and University interface. They are the only vendor identified meeting the timeline and budget for the project.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
NASA GSFC has developed in collaboration with universities and industry; a set of CubeSat instruments designed to study and decipher the secrets of the universe. This includes the Mather Mission instrument.
Without the participation of Odysseyspace Inc., we would not be able to deliver on critical mission goals related to these activities.
