Exclusive Licensing Agreement/Restrictive Rights/Authorized Reseller - The source has one or more of the following: an established exclusive licensing agreement, proprietary data, limited rights in data, patent rights, OEM required certifications or OEM authorized reseller, copyrights or secret processes with regard to the supplies or services required.

□ Global Imaging is a small business incorporated in California - DUNS 115322371 and is the manufacturer of the HIPS L/X Band Ground System, which is operated by the government at the Monterey NWS Weather Forecast Office. The HIPS components are manufactured using Global Imaging’s proprietary software and hardware products which are only maintainable by Global Imaging. 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. Global Imaging has no partnerships or agreements with other vendors to perform programming, upgrades, support, or modifications to the HIPS 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 and belief.

I hereby determine that the circumstances of this action deem only one source is reasonably available. This determination is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
