This is a Justification for Sole Source procurement document supporting a contract award between $15,000 and $350,000. The document authorizes a sole-source purchase from ZETEC INC., the original manufacturer, for eddy current inspection probes and related equipment used by the U.S. Navy for condenser tube inspections on naval vessels.

The procurement specifies that ZETEC INC. is the only qualified source capable of providing the required MIZ-200 inspection instrument, 3D/4D acquisition system, and associated array/bobbin probes currently owned and utilized by the Navy's PSNS (Puget Sound Naval Shipyard) facilities. The probes must be manufactured by ZETEC to ensure compatibility with existing equipment and the ability to perform eddy current inspections on US Navy Ships at PSNS to detect wall loss in condenser tubing. The justification emphasizes that ZETEC owns proprietary rights to the inspection systems and that these items represent direct replacements for existing brand-name equipment. Additionally, ZETEC is identified as a NAVSEA-approved source for eddy current inspection equipment utilized on US Navy Ships. The required delivery date for the material is April 6, 2026. The contracting officer, David W. Dunbar from DLA Weapons Support Puget Sound, signed the justification on 01/16/2025.
