a. D Sole/Limited Source Procurement (Only One Responsible/Capable Source). Is there only one responsible/capable source that can provide the supply or service due to unigue/highly specialized reguirements, urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, industrial mobilization or the new work is a logical follow-on? Non-competitive procedures can typically only be used when there is one source able to meet the Government's minimum requirements (e.g., the manufacturer is the sole distributor/reseller of the product or service). If only one source can meet the Government's requirements, complete table 3(a) below and provide a complete and thorough discussion of how you are aware that only one source exists in paragraph 4 below.

b. l2S] Braud Name Requirement (Item Peculiar to One Manufacturer). Is the requirement peculiar to a single brand name or one manufacturer? Competition can be limited to companies that are capable of providing the specific brand name, product or feature required when it is essential to purchase a specific brand because it is the ONLY brand that has the ability to meet the Government's minimum requirements (e.g., while there is one manufacturer, multiple distributors/resellers exist for the product or service). If so complete Table 3(b) below.

4) Describe the Market Research conducted.

You must provide sufficient narrative explaining your research, date performed, and how you are certain no other products exist that meet your requirements, or how you are certain that similar products are inadequate that meet your requirement.

Sensors Unlimited is the only brand camera to meet all of the requirements in Table 3(b).

Other cameras will not fit inside the existing lens assemblies and will not be compatible with the existing government software. In addition, the large sensor array size is required to resolve targets at a suitable resolution required for mission requirements.

Lastly the sensor type allm\ls collection in the Short Wave Infrared spectrum and allows increased performance at collection sites. Alternate cameras ·will not meet the government's minimum needs.
