About this file

This is a Sole Source Justification letter submitted by ETS – A Barbee Company to establish their status as the exclusive supplier for Barbee Engineered Testing Systems products and training services. The letter asserts that ETS – A Barbee Company is the original manufacturer and exclusive authorized provider of the Barbee Engineered Testing Systems Stands, with no competing vendors or distributors qualified to supply the equipment or perform associated services.

The justification for sole source procurement is based on three primary factors: (1) Proprietary Technology—ETS designs and manufactures custom test systems using technologies and services unavailable through any other company; (2) Compatibility Requirements—the equipment is uniquely compatible with existing systems, and any substitution would necessitate significant redesign, retraining, and additional costs; and (3) Technical Expertise—ETS possesses extensive, specialized experience with specific application requirements and provides technical support that cannot be matched by alternative suppliers. The letter concludes that procurement through ETS – A Barbee Company serves the best interests of the contracting entity by ensuring continued performance, system integrity, and cost efficiency. Contact information is provided by Chris Dowd, Sales Manager, at 619-585-8484 and 8780 Technology Way, Reno, NV 89521.
