4. Supporting rationale. Only one source or brand name is reasonably available as detailed below:

□ Other - Only one source is capable – Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized. As the OEM, Compunetix provides the only approved replacement parts, extended manufacturer’s warranty software support, hardware repairs and upgrades for Compunetix Voice

Communications Systems. The CONTEX systems and keysets have Compunetix developed and maintained and proprietary software and hardware designs. As such, Compunetix is the only uniquely qualified to; provide product sale quotes, OEM installation and training, hardware replacements, support your software questions and maintenance, and complete hardware repairs at the Compunetix factory. Additionally, NOAA currently has Compunetix products in place and other products are not compatible with the Compunetix supplies.

5. Market Research.

Market research conducted utilizing Google, FPDS, GSA, and NASA SEWP returned that there are no distributors for the requirement and it is not available on GSA or SEWP. Compunetix provided a sole source letter confirming that they are they only manufacturer and distributor of the required products.
