About this file
This document is a Brand Name Justification for the NASA Shared Services Center to procure a Leica Nova TS60 Total Station and Leica Blue Customer Care Package (CCP). The justification states that the Leica brand is required because the equipment is compatible with the Centroid Detector Assembly (CDA) system used at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, and no other brand will provide the necessary accuracy and integration with existing equipment. The estimated cost is an undisclosed amount, with a 30-day delivery timeline. The procurement is sole-source, as competition is deemed impractical due to the unique requirements. The related federal contract opportunity is for authorized sellers to submit quotes referencing Solicitation Number 80NSSC884038Q-1 for the Leica Nova TS60 Total Station and CCP.

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 Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) requires the Leica TS60 to work with the Centroid Detector Assembly (CDA) since it is compatible with this system and purchasing additional equipment would not be needed. Only this specific Leica brand can be used simultaneously with the CDA to perform the alignment of X-ray mirrors to their mounting structures. Additionally, only this brand theodolite will work because it will be used during integration and testing of sounding rocket and explorer class instruments both at MSFC and in the field.
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’s total station was used it may not be compatible to use with the Centroid Detector Assembly (CDA). Also, it would result in additional costs to find a compatible device which would cause downtimes in current projects that are in place. Other brands will not supply us with accuracy we need that the Leica equipment can.
