□ Brand Name – This particular brand name is essential to the requirement and market research indicates similar products do not meet or cannot be modified to meet agency needs.

ROXTEC is the OEM for the wire way transits on all FSV ships. ROXTEC has all required OEM parts and warranted service technicians to complete the inspections and any repairs if needed. Certified ROXTEC inspections are only available from the OEM due to the warranties and liabilities associated with correct installations.
