BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE: HDT Expeditionary Systems, Inc. (“HDT”) is the manufacturer of a fully integrated, deployable solutions such as shelters, generators, heaters, air filtration devices, Command and Control (C2) equipment and other engineered solutions. HDT is the current sole source supplier of: HDT Projector NRTOC 85inch, WXGA, Front Rear -TAN PN 106-NRTOC-85W-TN

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE BRAND NAME, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER BRAND NAMES OR

SOURCES CAN BE USED.

Authorization for sole source procurement can be found in Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) 6.302. HDT is eligible for sole source award in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 because it is the only responsible source of the above-named products and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Additionally, FAR 6.302-2 allows for sole source award in situations where the agency’s need for supplies is of an urgent or compelling nature. These are the units that are specifically fitted to our tents. PSU Baseline list of sole source items.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED BRAND NAME IS THE ONLY BRAND NAME WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES:

HDT is the inventor and patent owner of many of its expeditionary solution product offerings. Specifically, limited technical data rights exist with respect to these products, and HDT owns the proprietary manufacturing processes and know-how involved in the manufacture of these products. HDT’s proprietary processes include those relating to manufacturing design and engineering;

production and technical inspections; refit, retrofit and repair; and quality control and inspection. The existence of limited technical data rights and proprietary processes justify this agency’s sole source award to HDT.

EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

These units are required for proper heating and cooling while on deployment and living in tents, The repair and retrofit services offered by HDT require unique expertise possessed only by qualified HDT representatives familiar with the HDT product and associated repair processes and methods. The time and expense associated with qualifying an alternate supplier to provide these same services would be significant.
