About this file
This is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name document, dated March 15, 2017 (Version 2.0).
NASA Glenn Research Center seeks to procure two Speedgoat IO334-325k-10V-Performance FPGA I/O modules from Speedgoat GmbH through a brand name justification rather than competitive solicitation. These modules will expand the FPGA capabilities of existing Speedgoat real-time target machines currently deployed in multiple configurations throughout the laboratory's model-based design, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and rapid control prototyping activities. The modules are required to support two ongoing research projects necessitating additional high-performance, deterministic real-time processing capabilities. The estimated lead time for delivery is 4 weeks ARO (after receipt of order), with a total estimated cost redacted in the document. The justification emphasizes that this specific Speedgoat brand is essential because it is designed for seamless integration with the laboratory's existing Speedgoat hardware and software environment, including compatibility with FPGA interfaces, I/O configuration, filtering, sensors, and existing Simulink Real-Time workflows. The document asserts that utilizing alternative vendors would require significant engineering redesign, software modification, system requalification, introduce technical risks, increase costs, delay schedules, and disrupt ongoing research, while leveraging existing GRC expertise and reducing long-term maintenance requirements.

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 . 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 only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from Speedgoat GmbH for Speedgoat IO334-325k-10V-Performance. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 4 Weeks 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.
NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) requires the purchase of two (2) Speedgoat IO334-325k-10V- Performance. Speedgoat real-time target machines are currently deployed in multiple configurations throughout the NASA Glenn Research Center laboratory and are integral to existing model-based design, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, and rapid control prototyping activities. The requested purchase of two Speedgoat IO334-325k-10V-Performance FPGA I/O modules will expand the FPGA capabilities of existing Speedgoat systems in support of two ongoing research projects that require additional high-performance, deterministic real-time processing. This specific brand is needed because it is specifically designed for seamless integration with the laboratory's existing Speedgoat real-time target hardware and software environment. The requested modules provide the required compatibility with the current system architecture, including FPGA interfaces, I/O configuration, filtering, sensors, and existing Simulink® Real-Time workflows.
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 were selected, it would result in significant engineering efforts to redesign and validate laboratory hardware, modify software models, and requalify test systems. These activities would introduce unnecessary technical risks, increase project costs, delay project schedules, and disrupt ongoing research activities. Utilizing the same Speedgoat platform also leverages the existing expertise of GRC engineers and technicians, minimizing training requirements and reducing long-term maintenance and support costs. Only the Speedgoat IO334-325k-10V-Performance modules will satisfy the technical, compatibility, interoperability, and schedule requirements of the supported projects.
