The following firms were contacted and have indicated that they cannot provide an item/service that will meet the needs of the Government.

Company Person Contacted Date of Call Reason -

Reason:

Reason:

Restricted to the following source. Provide original manufacturer’s name. (If a sole source information manufacturer distributes via dealers, ALSO provide dealer information.)

Manufacturer: POC: 2G Engineering LLC Miranda Kolb

Manufacturer’s Address: 2752 Capitol Drive Suite 103, Sun Prairie, WI 53590

Manufacturer’s Dealer/Rep: Phone Miranda Kolb 608-825-4799

Description of the item: 6000R High Torque Rotary Actuator

Estimated cost: Required delivery date: $80,000 6/15/2019

Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source (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. (Explain) The High Torque Rotary Actuator made by 2G Engineering is a subsea unit designed to be operated in deep sea, high pressure environments. The unit is needed to provide the capability orient for underwater sensors while deployed at deep underwater depths with great accuracy and speed control. This unit provided by 2G Engineering is custom made to meet our specific torque and speed requirements all while providing pressure compensation for the extremely harsh environment we are operating in. No other sources can provide a product that will meet all of the functional and physical requirements to improve our test performance and data collection.

CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the government.

The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed. Describe the equipment you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system. (Explain) This is new technology for our team and we currently do not have any equipment similar to the rotary actuator being purchased. The new rotary actuator will directly interface with our current test fixture to provide us with the capability to re-orient the test fixture and supporting sensors while underwater during test events.

A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is: (Explain) There is not currently a patent on the piece of equipment being purchased because it is being custom built to meet our engineering requirements. There is very limited competition because the piece of equipment being built is very specialized in that it must meet our functional requirements while also being capable to operate in a deep sea environment.

These are “direct replacements” parts/components for existing equipment.

Other information to support a sole-source buy: (Explain)

I CERTIFY THAT STATEMENTS CHECKED, AND INFORMATION PROVIDED ABOVE, ARE

COMPLETE AND CORRECT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE

PROCESSING OF THIS SOLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION PRECLUDES THE USE OF FULL AND
