__X__Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source or particular brand name (unique features, function of the item, etc.).

Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

The Leica Absolute Tracker AT960LR is a portable, multipurpose system,that can probe like a fixed CMM, scan like a laser scanner, and track automated applications (aka 6 degrees of freedom. The AT960 is the only tracker capable of this 6DoF technology. It increases accuracy for large volume measurements, up to 525 ft in diameter, with faster set up times making it ideal for mechanics to obtain data. It can support tasks that range from manual measuring to automated measuring and robot calibration when needed. Other trackers use both laser interferometers and absolute distance meters separately to obtain measurements but Leica has combined the two creating the Absolute Interferometer (AIFM) that measures an absolute distance to a moving target without the loss in accuracy due to target instability during integration. The tracker is IP54 certified meaning it can be used in harsh environments without affecting the measuring sensors. The sensor monitors environmental conditions like surrounding temperatures, air pressure, and humidity to guarantee accurate measurements. Battery life can last 8 or more hours and can be swapped out while the tracker is in operation without affecting the unit. Leica offers 10 years of guaranteed serviceability and the tracker is ISO certified to ensured calibration is traceable.

__X__The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the Government.

This tracker is the only responsible source of fulfilling the minimum needs of the government.

CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

__X__The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed. Justi Describe the equipment you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

Shop 56 has the existing software, which costs $30,000, to use with the Leica Tracker, therefore, no additional cost to the government is required. The mounting interface of the tracker and probes are compatible with our current CMM Romer arms and accessories.
