About this file
This is a Brand Name Justification document submitted by NASA's Shared Services Center for the procurement of spare components for Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Propellants and Life Support Services (KPLSS) equipment supporting Artemis systems. The procurement is limited to vendors who can provide components manufactured by CS&P TECHNOLOGIES for fluids systems components, with an estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery from 09/01/2026 to 12/01/2026.
The justification for single-source procurement is based on the requirement for like-for-like replacement spare components that are compatible with existing KPLSS systems used for real-time spaceport operations, launch activities, and test support. The spare components list was developed using contract documentation and system audits. The document specifies that procurement of non-approved or incompatible components would require costly system modifications, could degrade system performance, and poses a high risk of delaying launch operations. The technical user submitting the recommendation is a Student Trainee (Engineering) from the Spaceport Integration Office – Propellants and Life Support, Mail Code SI-D, dated 7/24/2026.

NASA 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 Enter Supply or Service to be procured. 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 with only with vendors who can provide the subject brand names from CS&P TECHNOLOGIES for fluids systems components. The total estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 09/01/2026-12/01/2026.
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.
This effort is for procuring spare components for KSC Propellants and Life Support Services (KPLSS) equipment supporting Artemis systems. The list of spare components are developed using contract documentation and audits of the systems. The spare components are required to be like-for-like replacements without additional design engineering. These systems are used for supporting real-time operations for spaceport users’ launch and test activities. The listed brand names manufacture the specific components used for the KPLSS system.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Like-for-like replacement spare components in inventory are required for this system. There is a potential for critical component replacement required during real-time support operations. There cannot be any compatibility concerns with the replacement spare components in inventory. Procurement of non-approved components would require costly system modifications and could damage or degrade system performance. Non-approved components which are incompatible with the system poses a high-risk of delaying launch as the system would not be ready to support.
