This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source for Sypris Technologies – Tube Turns Double Bolt Closure Products. The document recommends negotiating with Sypris Technologies to provide 28 CL150 Vertical Tube Turns Double Bolt Closure components for the Propulsion Systems Laboratory (PSL) Combustion Air System. The total estimated cost is redacted, with a performance period from November 7th, 2025.

The justification highlights that the existing system requires components with specific characteristics that ensure immediate compatibility and eliminate the need for modifications. Market research found no alternative manufacturers. The PSL facility operates at a high occupancy rate, and any unplanned maintenance or replacement could result in substantial financial impact, potentially costing over $20,000 per day in downtime. NASA determines it is in the government's best interest to replace the item with an identical, brand-specific component to ensure operational continuity and minimize schedule risks.
