In conclusion, the requested supplies or services represent the minimum requirements of the government.

Describe in detail why only this source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

(what specific characteristics of the supplies or services limit the availability to a sole source (e.g., unique features, function of the item, etc.)?)

☒ The supplies or services must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

The airlift roller bags use the same fittings that are standard with pneumatic diving equipment. The Stability Control System Manifold is required to control the in- and out-flow of air to fill and deflate the roller bags.

MDSU TWO nor ESSM does not currently have these airlift bags or the manifold in inventory. These will be purchased to accomplish a wide array of salvage and recovery of vessels and large equipment where current equipment in MDSU TWO and ESSM inventory limits accomplishment, requiring using industry services.

☐ A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition.

Other information to support a sole source action:

Market research was conducted and it was determined that Center Lift, INC. is the only source available that is willing to sell all the equipment required. Two (2) other known companies were contacted and they only offer the rental/lease of the required supplies. Rentals/ leases are not a viable option due to the number of events occurring which MDSU TWO requires the use of this equipment. MDSU TWO performs salvage and recovery on a regular basis and requires this equipment permanently to perform the ongoing labor. It would not be in the best interest of the Government to rent/lease these items from a time and price perspective.
