About this file
This is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name document from NASA Shared Services Center, dated January 29, 2026. The document recommends negotiating with a single source for the renewal of FEMAP software. The estimated period of performance is 12 months. The total estimated cost and vendor name are redacted in the available version. The procurement seeks to acquire software that enables synthesis and analysis of HDL designs, allowing developers to synthesize designs, perform timing analysis, examine RTL diagrams, simulate design reactions to different stimuli, and configure target devices.
The justification for sole source procurement centers on the risks associated with vendor substitution. The document states that switching to an alternative vendor would cause schedule and performance delays to time-critical projects, potentially extending their schedules beyond current fiscal year funding dates and reducing designers' abilities to produce expected products or necessitating project cancellation. Engineers are currently in the middle of development work using Xilinx, and transitioning to an inferior alternative is deemed impractical and unnecessarily detrimental to ongoing engineering efforts.

NASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER
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 renewal of femap_. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 12 months.
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 Avnet 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 12 months.
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.
It allows synthesis and analysis of HDL designs, enabling the developer to synthesize their designs, perform timing analysis, examine RTL diagrams, simulate a design's reaction to different stimuli, and configure the target device.
1. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Delays in development of time-critical projects could extend their schedules beyond their current fiscal year funding dates, and hence reduce designers’ abilities to produce the expected product, or cancel the projects. Engineers are currently in the middle of creating many developments using Xilinx and to switch to an inferior alternative would cause schedule and performance delays which are not necessary.
