4. Specific characteristics of the material that limit the availability to a single source e.g., unique features, function of the item, etc.

Hewlett Packard’s (HP) multi jet printer line is the only product on the market that uses powdered nylon combined with fusing and detailing agents to build strong precise parts. HP’s proprietary technology allows for up to 10x faster printing compared to other printing technologies such as Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). The resolution of the HP 540 is significantly greater than FFF allowing for finer details to be printed. Thorough market research was conducted to find a printer that had a minimum build volume of 12” x 6” x 6” and had the capability of printing nylon without structural supports in the model. These requirements limited the products available on the market to SLS style printers and HP’s proprietary multi jet technology. The cost of the SLS printers were 2x to 3x more expensive. HP is the only manufacturer of this type of printer.

5. Check and fill in all that are applicable:

The material or 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:

It will be used to print usable brackets to support the network on the move (NOTM) integration efforts. By printing the brackets in nylon, the brackets will be strong enough to withstand

CM ID#: SSCA_20_TEMPL_00007_JustificationSingleSourceSA150K_1.00 equipment weight to verify form and fit. Nylon’s durability will allow for the printing of usable parts as well, such as buttons and knobs. No other manufacturer is currently making a product that fits all these needs and is within the same cost comparatively.

A patent, copyright, or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data and corresponding level of Government rights (if any) are described as follows:

Hewlett Packard’s (HP) Jet Fusion 540 3D printer uses a proprietary technology to print at a very high resolution with the industry’s largest build platform compared to its competitors.

These are “direct replacement” parts/components for existing equipment and similar parts/components will not meet the Navy’s requirement.
