About this file
This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source form from the NASA Shared Services Center, recommending a sole source procurement from Electroimpact, Inc. for automated fiber placement (AFP) services and spares. The procurement is specifically for preventative maintenance services and an upgraded PC (with accompanying spare parts) for an existing AFP system at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC).
Electroimpact, Inc. is identified as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the only vendor capable of performing the required maintenance and supplying the necessary spare parts due to the highly specialized nature of the AFP system. The total estimated cost is redacted, with an estimated performance period of 8 weeks and a response date of 6/27/2025. The document emphasizes that no other vendor can provide these specialized services or parts, making competition impractical and justifying the sole source procurement approach.

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 Electroimpact, Inc. only for automated fiber placement (AFP) service and spares. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 8 weeks.
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 services and products to be procured are in support of an existing automated fiber placement (AFP) system at NASA MSFC. Specifically, preventative maintenance services along with an upgraded PC (and accompanying spare PR) are to be procured. Electroimpact, Inc. is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for the AFP system at NASA MSFC. Given the highly specialized nature of the AFP system, Electroimpact, Inc. is the only vendor capable of performing the desired preventative maintenance and supplying the desired spare parts.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Given the highly specialized (one-off) nature of the automated fiber placement (AFP) system at NASA MSFC, no other vendor is capable of performing the services to be procured (namely, preventative maintenance and integration of upgraded PC). Furthermore, the spare parts to be procured are not available from any other vendor. If Electroimpact, Inc. is not selected, the desired services and spare parts could not be procured elsewhere.
