The NASA Shared Services Center recommends a brand name justification to procure Collins Aerospace GLU-2100 Multi-Mode Receivers, P/N 822-2532-100 with specific software, due to airworthiness requirements. The estimated period of performance is until May 31, 2026. This sole-source acquisition is necessary because the part is critical for maintaining aircraft airworthiness, as per the aircraft type certificate and service bulletins. Using an alternative vendor or brand would render the aircraft unairworthy. The document emphasizes the unique characteristics of the required part and the impracticality of competition for this specific aircraft component.
