About this file
This document is a Brand Name Justification (BNJ) form from NASA Shared Services Center recommending a sole source procurement for Lockmaster/Best brand ESS (Electronic Security Systems) parts and supplies. The document outlines the specific justification for selecting only vendors who can provide Lockmaster/Best brand components, citing critical compatibility requirements with existing equipment and configurations. The technical rationale emphasizes that alternative brands would require additional parts or modifications, potentially causing time delays and increased project costs. The recommended procurement has a 30-day lead time for delivery, and the document is dated 14 April 2025, originating from the Office of Protective Services. The key goal is to maintain equipment compatibility and prevent potential compliance, integration, and cost risks associated with using alternative brands.

NASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER
RECOMMENDATION AND DETERMINATION TO SOLICIT FROM ONE SOURCE
OR BRAND NAME
Sole Source:
I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with __________only for________.
The total estimated cost of this effort is $ and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is _________.
Brand Name Justification:
I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from LOCKMASTERS/BEST for ESS parts and supplies. 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.
Lockmaster/Best brand series is required as it is the brand compatible with existing equipment and configurations. Other comparable items may require additional parts or alternations to achieve compatibility. As a result, may cause time delays and increased costs for project/task completion.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
As stated above, the Lockmaster/Best brand is required to work with the existing equipment and configurations. Another brand will not be compatible. Selecting another brand risks compliance, incompatibility, and increased costs.
