This is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name form submitted by NASA's Shared Services Center.

The document recommends a brand name justification to procure Collins Aerospace GLU-2100 Multi-Mode Receivers (P/N 822-2532-100 with S/W P/N BCG48-U000-05W9 and COL4C-0087-0003 or newer installed). The total estimated cost of this procurement is redacted, and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery extends to May 31, 2026. The justification for sole source procurement is based on the requirement that this specific aircraft part is necessary to maintain airworthiness of the aircraft in accordance with the aircraft type certificate and applicable service bulletins. The document identifies that competition is impracticable because using an alternative vendor or brand would render the aircraft no longer airworthy, creating a critical safety and regulatory compliance impact to the government. The recommendation is supported by technical user documentation, with signature authority and date fields included but redacted in the document.
