About this file
This document is a Brand Name Justification for a NASA requirement to purchase an 8-channel, 1 GHz bandwidth oscilloscope from the Tektronix brand. The justification states that the NASA Mechatronics and Robotics Branch currently uses other Tektronix oscilloscopes, and purchasing the same brand will ensure compatibility with existing accessories and processes. The government estimates a 6-week delivery timeline, and states that purchasing a non-Tektronix oscilloscope would double the cost of probe accessories, potentially adding $50,000 to the procurement. This Brand Name Justification is related to a Federal Contract Opportunity for the 8-channel, 1 GHz oscilloscope, which is being solicited by the NASA Shared Services Center.

RECOMMENDATION AND DETERMINATION TO SOLICIT FROM ONE SOURCE
OR BRAND NAME
PR# XXX
Brand Name Justification:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with only with vendors who can provide the subject brand name from Tektronix for an 8-channel 1Ghz Bandwidth Oscilloscope. The estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 6 weeks.
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.
The Code 544 Mechatronics and Robotics Branch possesses other Tektronix brand Oscilloscopes of this type. Purchasing this same brand name will ensure compatibility of accompanying accessories (i.e.
measurement probes) and interfacing processes.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand was used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Purchase of an oscilloscope from another Brand would result in doubling of costs for related probe accessories. This cost would be on the order of magnitude of $50K.
