This is a Sole Source Justification and Recommendation document from NASA's Shared Services Center for a single-source procurement.

NASA recommends negotiating exclusively with iSoft Solutions, LLC for the Flight Dynamics Research Facility Camera System Upgrade. The estimated total cost is redacted, with an estimated performance period or lead-time for delivery of 5-7 weeks. iSoft Solutions was identified as the only company capable of adequately selecting and installing camera equipment to meet the unique demands of a state-of-the-art new wind tunnel. The camera equipment must integrate with existing facility infrastructure and test rig equipment, which is entirely custom. The test rig requires cameras with low-profile designs to limit interference with test models while maintaining adequate zoom and resolution. Supporting equipment including camera receivers and monitors were already installed during the facility's construction, and all new camera equipment must integrate seamlessly with the existing government-furnished equipment.

The justification notes that using an alternative vendor or brand would compromise compatibility with existing Government Furnished Equipment (GFE), including the C-Strut test rig, potentially degrading data quality and model testing results. Integration problems with alternative camera systems would prevent proper integration with existing recorders, monitors, and camera mounts. The document was dated 7/22/2026 and signed by a Technical User from an unnamed office at NASA.
