About this file
This is a NASA Shared Services Center Sole Source Justification and Recommendation form dated February 24, 2026. The document recommends that NASA negotiate exclusively with Jackson Aircraft Weighing Systems for the procurement of Boeing 777 Under Axle Weighing Systems. The estimated cost and period of performance are redacted in the document, with delivery required before July 1, 2026.
The justification establishes that competition is impractical because Jackson Aircraft Weighing Systems is the only vendor supplying under axle jack style weighing systems suitable for aircraft of this size and weight. Extensive market research confirmed no alternative vendors provide comparable equipment. While other weighing options exist, such as roll-on scales, they would not support additional maintenance functions (tire changes, brake maintenance) and would necessitate significant additional government investment in supplementary tooling and axle jacks. The document concludes that using an alternative vendor would create compatibility issues and require substantial additional procurement costs for supporting equipment.

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 Jackson Aircraft Weighing Systems only for Boeing 777 Under Axle Weighing Systems. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is before 1 July 2026.
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 Manufacture Name 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.
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.
This is a unique aircraft weighing system supplied only by this vendor. Extensive market research was completed and no other vendors were identified that provide under axle jack style weighing systems for aircraft of this size and weight. Other weighing system are available (e.g. roll on scales) but these would not provide the additional benefit of supporting other maintenance (e.g. tire changes, brake maintenance) and would require purchase of additional tooling at significant government expense.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Additional tooling would be required to support the Boeing 777. For example, additional axle jacks would be required to be purchased at , roll on scales would not be able to deploy on the aircraft, meaning additional tooling would require purchasing.
