RECOMMENDATION AND DETERMINATION TO SOLICIT FROM ONE SOURCE

OR BRAND NAME

Brand Name Justification:
☒I recommend that NASA, NASA Shared Services Center negotiate with only with vendors who can provide the subject band name from Anderson Greenwood for LH2 Pad B Engineered Relief Valves. The total estimated cost of this effort is
and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery 6 weeks from Control Southern, Florida Approved Distributor. 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. Anderson Greenwood Crosby is the current supplier of these relief valves. Substituting another vendor would risk compatibility issues.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used? Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
Possible fit/finish/compatibility issues with existing hardware.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

These valves are currently installed at the pad at KSC for LH2. If we don’t have the correct valves on time, it will be a constraint to launch.
