About this file
This is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source document dated March 15, 2017 (V2.0).
NASA Langley is recommending sole source procurement from Kaeser Compressors, Inc., located in Fredericksburg, Virginia, for maintenance services on the 1293B Dry Air Bleed System. The estimated period of performance is August through October 2026. The procurement will include expert technician services from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to perform maintenance necessary to reestablish baseline system performance, along with OEM-specific parts required for system functionality. The justification for sole source selection is based on the fact that Kaeser Compressors developed and installed the original system, and another vendor would lack the necessary quality and compatibility to properly service this critical research asset. Using an alternative vendor would result in negative functional impact, additional costs, and schedule delays due to compatibility concerns and remediation requirements. The technical user approved the recommendation on 7/30/2026.

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 Kaeser Compressors, Inc only for 2026 NASA Langley 1293B Dry Air Bleed System Maintenance. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance is August – October 2026.
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 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.
The NASA Langley 1293B Dry Air Bleed system was developed and installed by the Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Kaeser Compressors, Inc. our of Fredericksburg, VA. This PR is to requisition the expert services of their technicians to perform maintenance required to reestablish baseline performance of the system. Additionally, the requisition will include OEM parts that are necessary to keep the system functional. Another vendor would not be suitable to perform this work.
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 vendor is used it is unlikely that their quality and compatibility will match the system, resulting in negative functional impact on this critical research asset as well as incurring additional cost and schedule delays to the government in remediation.
