Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source (unique features; function of the item;

unique capabilities; facilities or special equipment; etc.). Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

The Government has invested to purchase and set up one 3D brand 3500 HD Max Printer in Building 122 Model Shop to add to their manufacturing capabilities. This printer is used for the design and manufacture of countermeasure items.

This requirement is for an OEM certified and authorized distributor that can provide support services, material, and emergency maintenance services for 3D Systems Inc., Model: 3500 HD Max Printer. It is required to have an authorized distributor that is certified by the OEM in the 3D Systems brand of 3D printers with trained knowledgeable personnel, specialized tools, correct replacement parts and the experience to troubleshoot and analyze printer problems. Vendors not authorized by the OEM will not have access to the proprietary OEM technical manuals or the correct parts to adequately and efficiently repair this 3D printer. Any time delay to troubleshoot problems will cost the Government additional funds and extend the down time of the equipment impacting the manufacture of items used to protect the Warfighter. Without emergency repair and maintenance it would cost the Government an additional investment of to purchase new equipment every time issues were to arise.

For non-personal services indicate the highly technical or specialized expertise required. Describe the contractor’s workforce, methods, materials or unique management or operating systems. If it is unique because of knowledge of key individuals, what is the basis of the knowledge that another firm could not obtain the same or equivalent expertise? Could another firm obtain the necessary highly specialized experience or technical capability in time to perform the requirement?
