_X_ Description of the item or service required, the estimated cost, and required delivery date.

Code 135 requests DLA to purchase cabling, conduit and spool manufactured for the Zetec MIZ- 200 eddy current inspection system currently in use at PSNS to perform inspections on shipboard steam condenser tubing. The required delivery date is April 7, 2025, and the estimated cost is _______________

_X_ Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source or particular brand name (unique features, function of the item, etc.).

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

The Zetec MIZ-200 eddy current tester and the Zetec High-Speed 3D Probe Pusher is the only eddy current inspection acquisition system currently in use by C/135 to perform critical array/bobbin inspections of steam plant condenser tubing on US Navy Ships. Current local PSNS procedures and inspection techniques require Zetec software and acquisition equipment to be used to perform eddy current inspections on US Navy Ships. Zetec is the OEM for the MIZ- 200 and High-Speed 3D Probe Pusher.

_X_ The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the Government.

CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

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

The cabling and conduit requested needs to meet the form, fit and function of the Zetec MIZ- 200 eddy current tester and the Zetec 3D/4D Probe Pusher system to perform data acquisition of the condenser tubing being inspected. The conduit guides and allows the probe to be inserted and extracted from the tubing while the probe extension cable allows eddy current data from the tubing to be electrically transmitted to the MIZ-200 tester. The spool requested allows the probe to be coiled on the probe driver pickup reel.

_X_ A patent, copyright, or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is:

The MIZ-200 eddy current inspection instrument has proprietary restriction designs, and will not be released for duplication purposes.____________________________________________

_ _ for existing brand name equipment.

_X_ Other information to support a sole-source buy:

Zetec is a NAVSEA approved source for eddy current equipment required to inspect condenser tubing.

I CERTIFY THAT STATEMENTS CHECKED, AND INFORMATION PROVIDED ABOVE, ARE COMPLETE AND CORRECT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE AND DO NOT CONTAIN CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROCESSING OF THIS SOLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION PRECLUDES THE USE OF FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION.
