4. Supporting rationale. Only one source or brand name is reasonably available as detailed below:

Other - Only one source is capable

Global Imaging, Inc., DUNS 115322371, is the manufacturer of the HRPT L/X Band Ground System operated by the Government at Monterey NWS Weather Forecast Office. The HRPT components are manufactured using Global Imaging’s proprietary software and hardware products which are maintained and supported by Global Imaging Inc. No other company has access to the proprietary products, software codes, licenses and documentation or would have knowledge or even access to this knowledge without a prior written agreement from Global Imaging, Inc. At this time, Global Imaging, Inc. has no authorized partnerships or agreements with other vendors to perform programming, upgrades, support, or modifications to the HRPT System.

5. Market Research.

Although similar products are available from other manufacturers, use of these products would introduce an unacceptable level of performance risk. The current system, comprised of Global Imaging hardware and software is subject to strict cybersecurity policies and protocols.

Procurement of support from a different manufacturer voids current warranties, introduces possible vulnerabilities in the system and requires additional training and maintenance of different systems.

6. Technical/Requirements Representative Certification

I certify that this requirement constitutes the Government’s minimum needs and the supporting data provided herein is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge
