About this file

This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name form for a brand name justification. NASA seeks to procure hardware for a new camera system installation at the High Pressure Industrial Water Facility, specifically requesting vendors who can provide brand name equipment from manufacturers like Axis, Milestone, Dell, and others. The total estimated cost is not fully disclosed, with a 12-week delivery timeline after receipt of order (ARO).

The justification emphasizes the need for specific hardware models compatible with an existing camera system at the Stennis Space Center. NASA determined that using alternative brands would require contract modifications, potentially cause warranty and support complications, and might not meet technical requirements. The procurement strategy prioritizes local representation and authorized suppliers within designated sales regions, with MMR identified as a potential vendor capable of providing the AXIS hardware and local installation services at a fair and reasonable cost.

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.

NASA has identified specific hardware model numbers and their installation locations for a turnkey project to install a new camera system at the High Pressure Industrial Water Facility. The requirements specify particular brand and model names, along with designated suppliers within their respective local, regional, or territorial sales and representation areas for Stennis Space Center. This approach ensures local representation for the hardware procurement. The hardware models were specified in a previous project and are compatible with the new camera system outlined in the statement of work. The AXIS hardware quote provided by MMR pertains specifically to the AXIS system designated according to the government's specifications. Additionally, MMR has personnel locally available to perform the installation at a fair and reasonable cost, given their close proximity to Stennis Space Center.

2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.

If a different brand is used, the government will need to initiate a contract modification for the redesign of the control system to accommodate the new camera system. If the hardware supplier is not within our designated sales regions, local authorized representatives will not provide support for warranties or troubleshooting. Offering support outside the local supplier’s sales areas could cause confusion and result in additional costs in the future. Moreover, other brands may not meet the specific technical requirements and might require additional funding to implement necessary changes.
