I. In accordance with reference (a) the following is submitted.

a. A brief description of the intended use or application.

The NSWC IHEODTD D23 Explosive Detection Equipment program will be conducting a test and evaluation of large vehicle x-ray imaging systems for security screening applications. As part of this test and evaluation, X-ray test targets are required that can be used to measure the following parameters of each system under test (at a minimum): Image/Wire Resolution, Thickness Resolution, Contrast Sensitivity, Materials Discrimination, Spatial Resolution through multiple materials, and penetration through steel.

b. Description of the critical or unique features (patent, copyright, proprietary, etc.), which show no other item or source, can satisfy the Government's need.

The XTE X-ray Test Target is a patented item. It is manufactured by Synergy 4 Tech. Alotech Inc. is currently the only US vendor authorized by Synergy 4 Tech to resell this product.

c. Describe the alternatives reviewed, which lead to the conclusion that only this particular source or product can meet the requirement.

No other manufacturer sells this item or markets a similar item. Alotech Inc. is the exclusive US based reseller of the item. Test objects related to ANSI standard N42.46 are the closest alternatives; however, they do not allow for all of the same tests. Additionally, at this time, ANSI N42.46 standard test objects are not known to be commercially available, therefore only the XTE X-Ray Test Target is able to meet the requirement.

The above information must be ce1tified as to the accuracy of the facts and representations contained in the request.
