TO: AFSC/PZIM

FROM: OC-ALC/OBCA for 76 PMXG

SUBJECT: Sole Source Justification for P20-047 4D Scanner

1. 76 PMXG request the purchase of the following item (s):

Four (4) 4D Scanner with optional accessories

Four (4) 9001-00194 - 4D InSpec Surface Gauge with All-in-one Touchscreen PC To include:

Windows 10 i5 processor or equivalent Microscope stand with 3” clearance, fine focus capability 1 standard focus aide On-site Installation & Training with 4D Engineer, 1-Day per system (2-days total)

2. The 4D InSpec Surface Gauge (4D scanner) can be used to measure defect profiles on parts which can't be measured with conventional tools. This tool has been proven to save engine parts from being condemned due to more accurate analysis and has also resulted in less engine delay time as a result of waiting on the lab. PMXG currently has 7 units of 4D InSpec Surface Gauge from 4D technology so having a standard piece of equipment from the same contractor is highly preferred.

The personnel in the shop that will be using this equipment are already trained on this brand of equipment. It would cost at least $3,000 dollars to retrain and reconfigure current shop capabilities/workforce to utilize a new 4D Scanner. This is not cost effective as it would produce duplication of costs not expected to be recovered through competition. By using the common 4D Scanners from 4D InSpec, inspectors can have a common training and can be proficient from shop to shop in PMXG.

3. Therefore it is determined that 4D Technology Corporation is the only source capable of satisfying this requirement.

4D Technology Corporation

Address: 3280 E. Hemisphere Loop, Suite 146 Tucson, AZ 85706-5024

CAGE Code: 3BTT0

Type Business: Small Business

4. Market research was performed reviewing Dynamic Small Business Search and System for Award Management databases using North American Industry Classification System Code 333314 looking for companies that could the item(s) listed above. A review of small businesses to include 8(a), HUBZone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business, and Women Owned Small Business was conducted. In review there is one (1) source that can provide this commodity for this acquisition

5. The Government will continue to perform market research for another source that is capable of providing the 4D Scanner.

6. I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.501(a)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
