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 the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality only for technical review and state regulatory oversight. The total estimated cost of this effort is
and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is November 9, 2026.
OR
Brand Name Justification:
☐I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with only with vendors who can provide the subject band name from Manufacture Name 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 leadtime for delivery is Date. 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. VDEQ, as the state environmental regulatory agency, is the only source that can perform this service. On March 6, 1986 EPA granted the Commonwealth of Virginia authorization to operate the State Hazardous Waste Program in lieu of pursuing a federal program and since that time EPA has re-authorized revisions to the Virginia Hazardous Waste Program. Therefore, only the Commonwealth has oversight and enforcement authority for the Environmental Restoration Program work in matters that impact the Commonwealth and VDEQ is the only entity mandated to conduct that oversight for the Commonwealth. 2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
VDEQ is the only entity authorized to perform this service. Failure to procure VDEQ will cause delays to the NASA WFF Environmental Restoration Program and subject NASA to stipulated penalties from the Environmental Protection Agency of up to
for each day of delay.
