About this file
This is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name document (Version 2.0, dated March 15, 2017).
The document is a brand name justification for the acquisition of System 3R tooling required for a Mitsubishi MD+PRO II wire EDM system currently installed and operational at NASA Ames Research Center. The justification supports negotiation exclusively with vendors capable of providing System 3R brand tooling, with an estimated performance or lead-time for delivery of 15 days ARO. The total estimated cost is redacted. The procurement is justified based on compatibility requirements: the required tooling system must be compatible with existing System 3R tooling, pallets, references, and interfaces already integrated into the operational wire EDM system. The document identifies that procuring an alternative brand would result in incompatibility, necessitate duplicate tooling purchases, waste funding, and create schedule impacts to research and mission-critical projects supported by the facility. Per FAR 5.201, any contract action exceeding $25,000 that is not procured through GSA or SEWP must be synopsized in the Government-wide Point of Entry (GPE) by the Contracting Officer, with the brand name justification referenced or attached.

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION
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 Vendor Name only 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.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from vendor for the required tooling in the statement of work manufactured by System 3R. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 15 day ARO.
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 tooling system required must be compatible with the existing system 3R tooling, pallets, references, and interfaces currently installed and operational on the Mitsubishi MD+PRO II wire EDM system at NASA Ames Research Center.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
If another brand is purchased it will not be compatible with the current system and we would not be able to use it. This would lead to having to purchase the correct tooling system, spending unnecessary funding that we do not have and schedule impacts to the research and mission critical projects this facility supports.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
Pursuant to FAR 5.201, any contract action over $25,000 (not bought via GSA or SEWP) shall be synopsized in the Government wide Point of Entry (GPE) by the Contracting Officer. In addition, the brand name justification must be referenced or attached.
