About this file
This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source form, recommending a sole source procurement from Inert Corporation. The proposed contract has an estimated period of performance through 08/30/2025, focusing on a unique and compact containment system designed to protect materials from contamination while maintaining chamber integrity. The justification emphasizes the vendor's specialized capabilities, specifically its ability to provide a contamination-free chamber environment that meets NASA procurement standards under Section 889, with alternative vendors deemed unable to provide equivalent protection for sensitive materials.
The document highlights that using an alternative vendor would compromise material integrity, potentially causing significant waste and project delays. The sole source recommendation is based on the vendor's unique system characteristics, which prevent material contamination and ensure chamber integrity during operational procedures. The technical user has validated the recommendation, signing the document on 07/01/2025, indicating NASA's intent to proceed with a targeted, specialized procurement that meets specific technical requirements.

NASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER
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 Inert Corporation listed on the attached quote. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance is 08/30/2025.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☐I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with only with vendors who can provide the subject band name from Manufacture Name for Enter Supply or Service to be procured.
The total estimated cost of this effort is Enter 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.
The company listed in the quote provides a unique and compact containment system designed to protect materials from contamination while maintaining chamber integrity. This system helps mitigate the risk of material contamination prior to use, as any chamber compromise would render the contents unusable.
The vendor is compliant with NASA procurement standards under Section 889.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
An alternative vendor does not provide a compact system and the capability to maintain a contamination-free chamber environment during operational procedures. Any materials exposed under their system would be compromised and rendered unusable, creating significant waste and potential project delays. Unlike the vendor in our quote who meets NASA procurement standards under Section 889, this alternative solution fails to provide the necessary contamination protection required for our sensitive materials.
