� Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source/brand product (unique features, f1mction of the item, etc.). Describe in detail why only this source/brand can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources/brands. Based on research conducted using internet search engines, reviews of scientific journals/publications, trade show inquiry, e-mail and phone correspondence, and all other available information, it

NAVSUP FLC San Diego Justification for Sole Source I Brand Name Sole Source (Simplified Acquisitions< $150K (Revised March 2013) is determined that the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC is the only known source that can provide proper support of this equipment. The Zeiss Ultra55 Field Emission electron microscope is a highly complex precision instrument that uses proprietary hardware and software to operate. Proper support requires factory trained/certified service engineers that have full knowledge and history of successfully repairing Zeiss equipment. Full knowledge and experience servicing Zeiss equipment is necessary to quickly and properly effect repairs in the fastest' time possible. The OEM is the only known source that has the necessary certified replacement parts immediately available for any and all repairs. This is necessary to quickly and properly effect repairs in the fastest time possible to avoid product delivery and service to the fleet. The OEM is also the only ]mown source that is able to perform all work in-compliance with the OEM's technical specifications, which is required in order to guarantee the repairs are properly performed.

D The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the Government.

� The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect or interface with the existing system. The Zeiss Ultra55 Field Emission electron microscope requires scheduled Preventative Maintenance and available Emergency Repair to ensure proper function and assures the results are accurate and always available. Such maintenance ( or repair if a fault develops) is beyond the capability of Materials Engineering or FRCSW maintenance personnel, therefore, these functions must be performed by a qualified commercial vendor capable of providing factory trained/certified service engineers with full knowledge of the equipment, able to perform all work in-compliance with the OEM's technica1 specifications, and has OEM certified replacement parts immediately available for any and all necessary repairs. The OEM is the only known vendor that can provide this service.

� A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition: The Zeiss Ultra55 uses proprietary hardware and software.

� The items are "direct replacement" pruis/components for existing equipment. Provide the infmmation about the Next Higher Assembly (NHA)/equipment which the replacement parts are going into (e.g. description, model, part number, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), etc.). All items shall be direct replacement parts for the Ultra55 Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (SIN 2641), manufactured by Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC

� Other information to support sole source/brand name sole source procurement. The rationale must then justify "either" substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not recovered through competition or unacceptable delays in fulfilling the mission of the agency. If the award is not approved this command runs the risk of not having the this electron microscope available to conduct Failure Analyses supporting Engineering Investigatuions. Also, the capital investment (-$350,000) will be non-recoverable. As a result many analysis and engineering investigations cannot be efficiently performed, thus excessive time will be incurred by fleet maintenance squadrons and depot repair activities.
