4. The statutory authority permitting sole source (brand name).

41 U.S.C. 1901 41 U.S.C. 1903

Sole source (brand name) acquisitions conducted under simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with

FAR 13.501.

5. A statement demonstrating the unique qualifications of the proposed contractor or the nature of the action requiring use of the authority.

The Leica AT960 Laser Tracker Alignment System and Leica TM6100A Theodolite equipment provide capabilities that will interface with an existing software suite called “Spatial Analyzer” metrology software. The Leica brand has the required compatibility and interoperability with the Spatial Analyzer metrology software and computer interface. It is of utmost importance for successful interoperability that the Leica laser tracker and theodolite interface with the existing metrology software in order to perform 3D and 6 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) geometric analysis of space systems undergoing alignment.

After discussing with the COR about potential alternative options (other brands) it was determined that the Leica brand is the only equipment that has the required compatibility and interoperability with the spatial analyzer metrology software. To the COR’s knowledge there is no other brand that would be a successful alternate.

6. A description of efforts made to ensure offers/quotes are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable, including whether a notice was or will be publicized in FEDBIZOPPS (as required by FAR 5.2) and, if not, which exception under 5.202 applies.

A Request for Quotes (RFQ) will be posted with the sole source (brand name) justification on SAM.gov and issued under FAR Subpart 13.5 procedures as a firm-fixed price contract. NRL will continue to keep abreast of products on the market and if an alternative becomes available that is technically feasible and more affordable for the laboratory, we will consider migration to another vendor’s equipment.

7. The anticipated dollar value of the proposed acquisition, including options if applicable, and a determination by the contracting officer that the anticipated cost to the government will be fair and reasonable.

J&A_7600_FOTEC Laser pg. 6

The anticipated value of the acquisition for the LEICA AT960 Laser Tracker Alignment System and Leica TM6100A Theodolite equipment with associated hardware is $ Market Research shows that there were two interested vendors able to sell the Leica Brand equipment. This requirement will be posted along with the approved J&A on SAM.gov as a RFQ utilizing FAR part 13.5 procedures to ensure maximum competition will be obtained.

8. A description of the market research conducted and the results or the reason market research was not conducted.

A Sources Sought Notice (SSN) N00173-25-DS01, was posted to www.SAM.gov, on 17 April 2025, and closed on 3 May 2025. Two potential vendors responded: Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence and Begini Howard Private Equity (BHPE). Of the two vendors, Hexagon is the OEM of the Leica brand equipment, and BHPE collaborates with authorized distributors of Hexagon equipment.

9. Any other facts supporting the use of sole source (brand name).

The Leica laser tracker and theodolite are compatible with an existing software suite called “Spatial Analyzer” metrology software. The Leica brand has the required compatibility and interoperability with the Spatial Analyzer metrology software and computer interface. Choosing another brand will lead to mission failure of our sponsors requirements.

It is absolutely paramount for successful interoperability that the laser tracker and theodolite interface with the existing metrology software in order to perform 3D and 6 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) geometric analysis of space systems undergoing alignment.

10. A listing of the sources, if any, that expressed, in writing, an interest in the acquisition.

1. Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence (Large Business), 250 Circuit Drive North Kingstown, RI 02852

2. Begini Howard Private Equity (BHPE) (Small Business, SDVOSB, VOSB, IEE, ISBEE), 10601 S Western

AVE STE 113 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73170

11. A statement of any actions the agency will take to remove or overcome any future barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services required.

This acquisition will add to the current inventory of the FOTEC Laboratory and leverage the investment already made by the US Government. Choosing a different manufacturer and brand will cause significant mission impact and potential costs added.
