Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name

This document recommends negotiating with a single source or brand name for the acquisition of supplies or services. The justification provided is for TESCOM pressure rated regulators, valves, gauges, instrumentation, and specialty hardware.

• TESCOM components are recommended due to their decades of successful operational history, established reliability, consistency, and predictable performance in aerospace and industrial pressure systems.

• The E3 Test Bed Project is a critical development effort, and introducing untested hardware would necessitate extensive qualification, functional validation, and safety reviews.

• Using new or substitute components would introduce significant technical risk, requiring reevaluation of interfaces, soft goods compatibility, pressure ratings, and system behavior.

• This requalification process would lead to unacceptable schedule delays and reliability uncertainties during a mission-critical build-out.

• The estimated cost of this effort is redacted.

• The estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 10 weeks.

• This document is a justification for a sole source or brand name acquisition, not a solicitation for proposals.

• Further details regarding the acquisition process and any associated solicitation will be provided separately.

• The brand name justification is referenced or attached pursuant to FAR 5.201.

• The document is dated 6/10/2026.
