About this file
This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name, dated March 15, 2017. The recommendation is for a sole source acquisition to upgrade a Heidelberg DWL 66+ instrument. NASA proposes to negotiate exclusively with Heidelberg for this upgrade, with an estimated delivery date of October 30 or sooner. The total estimated cost is redacted in the document.
The justification for sole source procurement rests on the fact that Heidelberg is the original manufacturer of the instrument and possesses the unique hardware and specialized expertise required to perform the upgrade. According to the documentation, no other capable companies exist that can perform this work, and using an alternative vendor would be physically impossible due to hardware availability and compatibility issues. The technical user, title, and office information are also redacted from the final signature section of the form.
