About this file
This document contains a brand name justification and details of a related federal contract opportunity. The brand name justification recommends that NASA's Shared Services Center negotiate solely with Eaton for the supply of two new Motor Control Centers. Compatibility with existing infrastructure at Stennis Space Center is required to ensure NASA's cryogenic test operations are not compromised. Procuring these components from any other supplier could introduce undue risk and potential harm.
The related federal contract opportunity is solicitation number 80NSSC855977Q from NASA's Shared Services Center for the purchase of two new Motor Control Centers from Eaton. The estimated period of performance is 60 weeks from date of award due to the lead time required for delivery.

recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with only with vendors who can provide the subject band name from Eaton for MCC material. The estimated period of performance or lead- time for delivery is 60 weeks from date of award.
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.
Eaton supplies electrical components for NASA test operations at Stennis Space Center. Compatibility of component parts is required to ensure NASA’s mission is sustainable and not compromised. Other suppliers will not have the same processes, part dimensions, and materials to ensure system compatibility with existing infrastructure.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Eaton supplies electrical components for NASA test operations at Stennis Space Center. Compatibility of component parts is required to ensure NASA’s mission is sustainable and not compromised. Other suppliers will pose and undue risk to NASA’s mission as the system compatibility cannot be guaranteed with a different vender/brand.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
Other cryogenic component suppliers exist, but none will have complete compatibility with the items under this procurement. Failure to procure these components from Eaton would cause harm to NASA’s current and future test operations.
