Manufacturer: TDG Transit Design Group Manufacturer POC & Phone Nr.: Kevin Booth 905-608-9539 Mfr. Address: 3829 Forest Park Way #500 North Tonawanda, NY 14120 x Description of the item or service required, the estimated cost, and required delivery date. Capacitor Emergency Light. Required Delivery: 11/1/2025

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.

Reactor Servicing is in need of capacitor supplied emergency lights to replace battery supplied emergency lights in reactor servicing facilities. The capacitor emergency lights reduce ongoing facility maintenance work and reduce the complexity of the remaining work.

This includes reductions of disposal costs and improved resiliency to temperature and discharge conditions. Capacitor emergency lights mitigate the lithium battery fire concerns outlined in UFC 3-600-01. The replacement lighting equipment meets Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) requirements for plug in electrical equipment and is stamped to certify this.

Market research has found that only one supplier makes capacitor supplied emergency lights for the North American market. Options from the European Union will not support North American illumination duration standards or electrical distribution systems. TDG Transit Design Group is the only manufacturer that makes a capacitor supplied emergency light that meets the NFPA (NFPA 101) and UFC (UFC 3-600-01) requirements.

X_The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the Government.

CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

A patent, copyright, or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is:

These are “direct replacements” parts/components for existing brand name equipment.

X Other information to support a sole-source buy:

These are the only emergency lights in the North American market that use this energy storage method and meet the North American UFC and NFPA standards.
