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 storage equipment procurement. NASA is seeking to acquire storage equipment specifically from Synology, Inc. for scientific data storage purposes, with a 30-day delivery timeline after receipt of order (ARO). The justification emphasizes the need for this specific brand due to existing team training, compatibility with current systems, and potential risks associated with transitioning to alternative products.
The document outlines two key rationales for the sole source/brand name selection: (1) the selected storage unit meets current capacity requirements, and the team has already received training on its installation, configuration, and support, and (2) using an alternative product could result in challenges related to usability, system compatibility, and potentially require additional costly testing, training, and equipment. The procurement is dated 12/17/2025, indicating a future acquisition timeline for the storage equipment for HLS (Hybrid Logistics System).

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 Vendor Name only 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.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject band name from Synology, Inc. for Storage for HLS. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 30 days ARO.
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.
We are requesting this equipment to address our need for scientific data storage. The selected storage unit currently meets the estimated capacity requirements. Additionally, our team has received training on the installation, configuration, support, and operation of these devices within our environment. Transitioning to alternative products could potentially result in challenges related to usability, support, configuration, installation, and compatibility with other systems interfacing with this device.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Utilizing an alternative product would necessitate testing, training, and other preparations. Additionally, there is no assurance that the alternative will function as intended, and it may require costly workarounds or additional equipment, software, and training, potentially increasing overall expenses.
