About this file
This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name form, specifically seeking a brand-specific HVAC system from BARD HVAC Manufacturing for a Global Hawk Ground control station. The justification for sole source procurement is based on the need for two cooling units from the same manufacturer to ensure compatibility and streamline maintenance, with the units to be co-located on the rear of a trailer.
The potential risks of using an alternative manufacturer are significant, including a 3 to 6-month schedule delay that could impact up to 12 customer-requested missions. The estimated cost of incompatibility could range between $100,000 and $500,000, factoring in unit replacement and loss of mission reimbursable funding. The procurement is targeted for completion by 12/31/2025, with the technical user recommending negotiation exclusively with vendors who can provide the specific BARD HVAC Manufacturing brand for the new HVAC system.

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.
Unit operates as a pair of units providing cooling for one of Global Hawk Ground control stations. In order to prevent interference between the units the requirement is to have the units from the same manufacturer. This streamlines maintenance and ensures compatibility of the two units which are co-located on the rear of the trailer.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
There is a high likelihood or incompatibility with another manufactures unit. If another manufacture is chosen and the unit is deemed incompatible this would cause a 3 to 6 month schedule hit in which the project would miss support of up to 12 customer requested missions. The resulting cost to the project would be between $100k and $500k for the replacement of the incompatabile unit combined with the loss of mission reimbursable funding.
