About this file
This is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name document dated August 3, 2026.
NASA Shared Services Center seeks to negotiate a sole source acquisition with OAG only for Custom Fares File and Schedule Analyzer with an estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery of 8/14/26. The total estimated cost is redacted in the document. OAG provides global air travel fare and schedule data available only through proprietary means and is identified as the sole domestic source for this data; OAG has provided a letter of sole source supporting this claim. Competition is deemed impractical because no alternative vendors can provide equivalent data.
The acquisition supports the NASA High-Speed Flight project, which develops and maintains a global logistic simulation and market study software tool utilizing global civil airfare and schedule data in its underlying models. This tool informs mission characteristics for future vehicle concept studies. The current underlying data is approximately 10 years old, and NASA seeks to update it to present-day using OAG-supplied data to ensure meaningful predictions. If another vendor or brand is used, the project would lack access to the comprehensive global air travel data necessary for accurate modeling and mission analysis.

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 OAG only for Custom Fares File and Schedule Analyzer. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 8/14/26.
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 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.
OAG provides global air travel fare and schedule data for purchase via proprietary means and is the sole domestic source for this data. OAG themselves have provided a letter of sole source supporting this claim.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
The NASA High-Speed Flight project develops and maintains a global logistic simulation and market study software tool that uses global civil airfare and schedule data in its underlying models. This tool is used to inform the mission characteristics for future vehicle concept studies. To ensure meaningful predictions, the underlying data must be periodically updated; the current data is approximately 10 years old, and we would like to update it to the present day using the OAG-supplied data.
