V. Demonstration that the contractor's unique qualifications or nature of the acquisition requires the use of the authority cited above (applicability of authority).

Only One Responsible Source (FAR 6.302-1(a)(2). Only one contractor responded to the Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) with an MSMM that has the specifications to meet all of the Governments necessary requirements. The SSS was posted in August 2019 and is valid for the current effort and until March 2021. Therefore, market research results show that Zeiss is the only known system that can meet all of the requirements as well as the equipment size requirements to ensure a safe work environment.

Market research was conducted and it was found that Carl Zeiss Industrial Metrology, LLC is the only source that can meet all requirements.

The purpose was to identify sources capable of supplying a MSMM that satisfied the Governments requirements as described in the SOW. Carl Zeiss was the only vendor who responded to the SSS and the engineer deemed that Zeiss was capable of meeting the Government's requirement.
