About this file
This is a Sole Source Justification and Determination document from NASA's Shared Services Center for a single-source procurement recommendation.
NASA recommends negotiating exclusively with one vendor for an HPIW Cooper Generator Remote Start/Stop System to support the High Pressure Industrial Water Facility at Stennis Space Center. The estimated period of performance is 8-12 weeks ARO. The selected vendor will deliver a comprehensive turnkey project including both labor and materials to enable remote start/stop functionality for four copper generators. The vendor will provide specialized hardware and software integration for existing Allen Bradley PLCs while maintaining all current capabilities and adding remote operation via fiber optics. The justification emphasizes that the selected vendor possesses proven expertise, prior performance, and onsite presence with unmatched familiarity with the site and systems. The vendor is uniquely capable of providing hardware tailored specifically to the Stennis Space Center location and is the only provider able to deliver the required performance level within the constrained timeframe necessary to support upcoming rocket testing operations. Selecting an alternative vendor would require design modifications to accommodate territorially specific hardware and could result in reduced support compared to direct procurement from the original vendor, potentially impacting the government's ability to meet critical project deadlines and achieve best value on its investment.

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 only for HPIW Cooper Generator Remote Start/Stop System. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 8-12 weeks ARO.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☐I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate 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 $ 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.
was selected to deliver a comprehensive turnkey project, including both labor and materials, to enable remote start/stop functionality for four (4) copper generators at the High Pressure Industrial Water Facility. Their proven expertise, prior performance, and onsite presence have demonstrated their ability to best serve the government's needs. Their familiarity with the site and systems is unmatched by other vendors in the area. They will provide specialized hardware and software integration for existing Allen Bradley PLCs, ensuring all current capabilities are maintained while adding remote operation via fiber optics. Additionally, they will supply hardware tailored specifically to the Stennis Space Center location. is the only provider capable of delivering this level of performance within the required timeframe for rocket testing operations.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
If an alternative vendor is selected, the government may need to initiate design modifications to accommodate territorially specific hardware provided by the local SSC vendor. Utilizing another vendor through a reseller might also result in reduced support and assistance compared to direct procurement from the original vendor. Given the limited timeframe to complete this project ahead of upcoming rocket testing, it is in the government's best interest to engage This vendor is uniquely familiar with the site, standards, site systems, and capabilities, which will help ensure the government receives the best value for its investment.
