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 recommends negotiating exclusively with vendors who can provide O2 Monitoring System Hardware from PureAire Monitoring Systems, Inc for the Material Research lab. The estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 30 days. The total estimated cost is redacted in the document. The justification for brand name procurement centers on compatibility requirements with existing systems and the need to replace outdated hardware. PureAire sensors are designed to provide up to 5x longer lifetime compared to existing sensors, reducing maintenance and calibration costs. According to the technical user, using alternative vendors would create incompatibility risks with newer systems, prevent proper equipment operation, require additional cost and upkeep, necessitate allocation of personnel and financial resources to address operational issues, and potentially cause schedule delays to upcoming test programs. The document notes these systems are critical for testing flight hardware. The technical user signed the recommendation on July 30, 2026, indicating NASA is upgrading older systems with hardware already in use at other facilities. Competition was determined to be impractical based on the unique technical requirements and compatibility considerations specific to the Material Research lab's operational needs.

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 amountand the estimated period of performance is 12 weeks with delivery date of Date.
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 PureAire Monitoring Systems, Inc for O2 Monitoring System Hardware. The total estimated cost of this effort is and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 30 days.
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.
O2 Sensors are an important part of safety equipment for the Material Research lab in areas where we have the chance of oxygen depletion. Pure Aire sensors are needed to maintain compatibility to existing systems, and to replace older outdated hardware. These sensors are designed to have up to 5x lifetime when compared to existing sensors and reduce maintenance and calibration costs.
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 there is risk of incompatibility with existing newer systems, which will prevent proper operation of the equipment. Additional cost and upkeep will be required if we continue using the existing sensors. Personnel and financial resources will be required to address operational issues and schedule delays to upcoming test programs may result. These systems are critical for testing many flight hardware systems.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
We are working to upgrade some older systems with this hardware which is in use in other fascilites.
