About this file
This is a Justification for Sole Source procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b) for a purchase valued between $15,000 and $350,000. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS&IMF) seeks to procure Zetec array/bobbin eddy current probes restricted to sole source procurement from ZETEC INC., located at 8226 Bracken Place SE, Suite 100, Snoqualmie, WA 98065. The manufacturer point of contact is Andrea Fredell at 425-974-2766. The required delivery date is October 19, 2026.
The justification for sole source procurement is based on the requirement for form, fit, and function compatibility with existing Zetec MIZ-200 inspection instruments and Zetec 3D/4D probe driver systems currently owned and operated by Code 135 at PSNS. The probes will be used to perform mission-critical eddy current inspections on condenser tubing for the JCD project to determine tubing integrity on US Navy ships. Only Zetec-manufactured array/bobbin probes interface directly with the existing equipment; failure to procure from Zetec would prevent required inspections and risk equipment damage. Additionally, Zetec owns proprietary rights to the MIZ-200 and 3D/4D acquisition system, and is a NAVSEA-approved source for eddy current inspection equipment used on US Navy vessels. The document numbers referenced are 61756930/31/32/33 and 61756936. The justification was certified by the Planner on 6/26/26 and approved by the Contracting Officer on 7/9/26.

JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE ($15K-$350K)
Ref: FAR 13.106-1(b)
The service or material listed on (Document number) 61756930/31/32/33 and 61756936 is sole source and competition must be restricted to one source, or to only one brand name for reasons indicated below. There are no substitutes available for this material.
Restricted to the following source or brand name. Provide original manufacturer's name.
(If a sole source manufacturer distributes via dealers, ALSO provide dealer information.)
Manufacturer: ZETEC INC.
Manufacturer POC & Phone Number Andrea Fredell 425-974-2766_ Mfr. Address8226 BRACKEN PLACE SE; SUITE 100, SNOQUALMIE, WA 98065 Manufacturers Dealer/Rep Dealer/Rep Address/Phone Number
X Description of the item or service required, the estimated cost, and required delivery date.
Code 135 requests DLA to purchase Zetec array/bobbin eddy current probes to perform critical eddy current inspections on condenser tubing for the JCD project. The required delivery date is October 19, 2026.
X Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source or particular brand name (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.
Zetec is the OEM for the MIZ-200 inspection instrument, the 3D/4D acquisition system and the associated cabling and probes currently owned and utilized by C/135 to perform eddy current inspections on US Navy Ships at PSNS. The probes requested will be utilized to perform mission critical condenser tubing eddy current inspections on the JCD project to assist PSNS engineers in determining the integrity of the tubing. Zetec must manufacture the probes requested so that they will be compatible with the existing Zetec eddy current inspection systems and make it possible for C/135 to perform the required inspections.
X The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the
Government.
CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW
X 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.
The Zetec MIZ-200 instrument and the Zetec 3D/4D probe driver system along with the various designed array/bobbin probes are used by C/135 to inspect condenser tubes on all US Navy Ships at PSNS to detect any wall loss in the tubing. Only Zetec manufactured array/bobbin probes will interface directly with the existing MIZ-200 instruments and Zetec is the OEM for these probes. The probes requested must be manufactured by Zetec to ensure they meet form, fit and function of the existing equipment so that eddy current data can be acquired and analyzed to accurately determine the integrity of the ship’s condenser tubing. Failure to procure the requested Zetec manufactured array/bobbin probes will result in the inability to perform required inspections during the ship's availability and potential damage to the equipment.
X A patent, copyright, or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is:
Zetec is the OEM and owns the proprietary rights to the MIZ-200 and 3D/4D acquisition eddy current inspection system and the array/bobbin probes currently being used at PSNS.
These are “direct replacements” parts/components for existing brand name equipment.
X Other information to support a sole-source buy:
Zetec is a NAVSEA approved source for eddy current inspection equipment utilized to perform eddy current on US Navy Ships.
I CERTIFY THAT STATEMENTS CHECKED, AND INFORMATION PROVIDED ABOVE, ARE COMPLETE AND CORRECT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE AND DO NOT CONTAIN CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROCESSING OF THIS SOLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION PRECLUDES THE USE OF FULL AND OPEN
COMPETITION.
