Brief description of supplies or services required and the intended use:

The CrimeCam Full Spectrum Imaging System (FSIS) is the most advanced image capturing system in the world. The CrimeCam features a full spectrum 16MP digital camera with sensitivity from the deep UV through real IR. With over 16 megapixels of resolution and sensitivity from 254nm to 1100nm, the CrimeCam can easily capture a full handprint at 1000 PPI (pixels per inch), and micro evidence up to 2,500 PPI. Utilize the FSIS Camera in a lab setting with the FSIS Lab. The FSIS lab set up is designed specifically for a laboratory environment. A large display and articulating arm allow for clear, fast evidence scanning. Achieve hands free processing with a mounted UV light and hands-free foot pedal for image capturing.

Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, and any justification that no other supplies or services can be used or that urgent and compelling circumstances exist - include all critical delivery or performance dates and impact to the government if dates are not met:

The mobility of the equipment allows for seamless transitions around the lab depending on space and need. The USB powered foot pedal aids the user in capturing the image and maneuvering evidence at the same time. The Arrowhead Custom software provides fingerprint specialists the key feature to view and capture untreated latent prints at a very high resolution, capture 30 images on textured, and round surfaces.

Describe in detail any market research conducted. Include results and state whether any vendors expressed interest:

Market Research concluded that Arrowhead is the sole source for manufacturing the software that enables the full spectrum imaging system the capabilities listed above. Please note sole source justification and patent pending from vendor.

The Contracting Officer hereby certifies that:

A. Only one source is reasonably available;

B. An order for the supplies or services will not be placed unless the price is determined to be fair and reasonable; and

C. If brand name specifications are used for the basis of this determination and the acquisition exceeds $25,000, this Limited Source Documentation will be made available together with the solicitation in the Governmentwide Point of Entry (FedBizOpps) in accordance with far 5.102(a)(6), or on GSA e-Bu~ in accordance with FAR 8.405-6(d).
