About this file
This document is a Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name for the acquisition of Codeium Enterprise Edition software. NASA Shared Services Center is recommending a sole source/brand name justification to negotiate only with Exafunction, Inc. for this requirement. The rationale provided is that Codeium Enterprise Edition is the sole solution that enables NASA to self-host the software within their own cloud environment, and alternative cloud solutions do not provide this capability or have the necessary FedRAMP approval. The total estimated cost is [redacted] and the period of performance is from 11/11/2024 to 11/10/2025. Initiating the approval and setup process with another vendor would result in significant delays, and no other vendor satisfies NASA's stringent security requirements for this type of tool.

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 only with vendors who can provide the subject band name from Exafunction, Inc for Codeium Enterprise Edition. The estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 11/11/2024 – 11/10/2025.
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 is the sole solution that enables our team to self-host within our own NASA Cloud environment.
Alternative cloud solutions do not provide this capability and lack FedRAMP approval.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
No other vendor satisfies the government's stringent security requirements for this type of tool.
Furthermore, we have conducted a trial period with this tool and determined that it effectively meets our needs. Initiating the approval and setup process again would result in significant delays.
