About this file
This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name form, specifically a Brand Name Justification for TE Connectivity Miniature Electronic Pressure Scanners. NASA Glenn Research Center requires two pressure scanners as spares for existing measurement systems, justifying sole sourcing from TE Connectivity due to critical infrastructure compatibility. The document details that using another brand would necessitate extensive research, installation, and testing, potentially introducing risks to hardware, software, and data acquisition systems, and causing potential delays in test schedules.
The key acquisition details include a 3-week anticipated delivery timeframe (After Receipt of Order), with the technical justification emphasizing the need for seamless replacement without requalification or recalibration. The document is dated 3-15-2017 (Version 2.0) and signed by a Research Assistant from the Propulsion Flow Dynamics department, with a signature date of 7/28/2025. The solicitation number is 80NSSC25912684Q, and the federal agency involved is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration 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 Vendor Name only for . The total estimated cost of this effort is Enter Dollar amount and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is Date.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from TE Connectivity Ltd. for TE Connectivity Miniature Electronic Pressure Scanner, 32 channel, 15 psid. The estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 3 Weeks
ARO .
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 Glenn Research Center requires the purchase of two (2) TE Connectivity Miniature Electronic Pressure Scanners which will serve as spares for the existing pressure measurement systems in use at GRC. This specific brand is needed because the TE Connectivity scanner is already integrated into NASA GRC's current pressure measurement infrastructure. Only the TE Connectivity brand will ensure seamless replacement without the need for requalification, recalibration, or modification of the system.
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 were selected, it would require many hours of research, installation, and testing. This would also introduce compatibility risks with the established hardware, software, and data acquisition systems. As well as result in increased costs to the Government which would introduce risk into critical systems and cause delays in the test schedule at the test facility if another brand were selected. Only TE Connectivity Miniature Electronic Pressure Scanners will ensure for operational consistency, technical compatibility, and cost-effective maintenance.
