BRAND NAME SPECIFICATION:

Evident, is an ultrasound scanning tool vendor that was used in the past by other codes to develop similar scanning capabilities. Code 3425 has been working with another program, within the code, who have used the scanner for similar testing and therefore team members who can operate the scanner and utilize its technology without additional training.

This scanner was stated to work with composite materials to be able to detect smaller delaminations in a material that would be missed by its competitors that use a smaller array size and have less penetrating power. The materials being tested are required to be inspected using the scanner and accepted no later than 30 days upon receiving. Out of house inspections ranges from per scan with a lead times of over 30 days which would impact fleet schedules and acceptance. If the government were to transition to a new element scanner the following additional costs and schedule impacts would be seen:

Based on the above table and given the dollar amount for the two element scanners being this purchase fulfills the Government’s requirement without succumbing to the additional costs and schedule impacts listed. Therefore, soliciting and awarding this order on a brand name basis is in the Government’s best interest.
