Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name

This document recommends soliciting from a single source or brand name for data acquisition hardware. The justification is that competition is impractical for the specified items.

• The document specifies the need for DEWESoft, LLC's Dewesoft SIRIUS-XR9 Hardware.

• The hardware must be compatible with existing data acquisition systems and infrastructure at NASA Ames Research Center.

• The hardware must support the project's data acquisition, measurement, and testing objectives.

• The estimated cost and period of performance are to be determined.

• This document is a recommendation for a sole source acquisition, not a solicitation for proposals.

• The document explicitly recommends a sole source acquisition, indicating no set-aside is applicable.

• The rationale for sole source includes competitive pricing, unique capabilities not readily available from alternatives, seamless integration with existing systems, reduced training requirements, lower lifecycle support costs, and efficient maintenance.

• Using an alternative vendor/brand is projected to increase project costs, cause schedule impacts, require additional engineering effort for integration and testing, and necessitate supplemental training, potentially reducing workforce efficiency.
