4. Supporting rationale. Only one source or brand name is reasonably available as detailed below:
Other – Only one source is capable – Kongsberg Maritime (formerly Rolls-Royce) is the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and retains the proprietary rights to their designs and systems. Kongsberg Maritime is the only OEM authorized source for repairs, service, and spare parts for Kongsberg Maritime equipment.
