About this file
This is a Sole Source Justification document submitted by NASA's Shared Services Center for the procurement of Extended Warranty services for a Fortus 900MC machine from Stratasys. The procurement is for a two-year period of performance beginning from the date of award, with a redacted estimated cost. The document recommends negotiating exclusively with Stratasys rather than pursuing competitive bidding.
The justification is based on Stratasys's sole proprietary ownership of the technologies integrated into the Fortus 900MC machine, making it the only vendor capable of providing compatible hardware and software maintenance services. The document establishes that using alternative vendors would void existing warranties and maintenance contracts, create compatibility issues with peripheral systems, and jeopardize compliance with ISO 9001 equipment calibration standards. No market research identified alternative sources capable of meeting the government's requirements. The technical user signed and dated the recommendation on 3/2/2026, indicating this document was prepared after its template version date of 3-15-2017.

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.
Stratasys has sole propriety to the technologies involved in the Fortus 900MC machine. No other vendor satisfies this requirement. Stratasys has the capability to perform the hardware and software maintenance, yet maintains compatibility with peripheral hardware and software systems.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
The attempted use of other sources will void vendor warranties and/or maintenance contracts.
