About this file
This is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name justification document dated 5/4/2026.
NASA Shared Services Center recommends negotiating exclusively with vendors who can provide High-Resolution Broadband Pyroelectric Array Beam Profiling equipment from Newport Corporation Ophir USA. The estimated delivery lead-time is 06/20/2026. The technical user justified the brand name restriction based on market research demonstrating that the Newport Ophir Spiricon Pyrocam IV is the only device meeting the required active area specifications. The justification notes that DataRay, the only identified competitor, offers equipment with an unacceptably smaller active area. The technical user confirmed that if another vendor could provide an identical device with the same specifications and warranty, there would be no impact to the government; however, no resellers of this device are currently known. Competition was determined to be impractical based on the unique technical characteristics and limited availability of compliant equipment in the marketplace.

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 Manufacture Name only for the Enter Supply or Service to be procured listed on the attached quote. The total estimated cost of this effort is Enter Dollar amount and the estimated period of performance is Date.
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 Newport Corporation Ophir USA for High-Resolution Broadband
Pyroelectric Array Beam Profling. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 06/20/2026.
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.
The company listed on the quote is the manufacturer of the laser beam profiler.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
If any other vendor can provide the same device with the same specification and the same warranty, there is no impact to the government. However, I am not aware of any resellers of this device.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
I have searched for beam profilers with the same requirements and Newport Ophir Spiricon Pyrocam IV is the only device with the required active area. The only competitor (DataRay) I was able to find that had acceptable requirements had a smaller active area .
