JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE (SAP <$250k) Ref: FAR 13.106 and NAVSUP 4200.85D Chapter 5 Para. 2.b.(5)

The service or material listed on (Document numbers) _3117-3850_ 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.)

X Description of the item or service required, the estimated cost, and required delivery date.

ATS600 Absolute Laser Tracker Kit, part# 576971-KIT

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.

Leica’s proprietary “Powerlock” technology greatly improves productivity. Powerlock automatically re-establishes interrupted line of sight with no user interaction required.

This would limit down time created from the laser tracker losing its connection with an SMR. Traditional trackers require a user to re-home the machine every time the connection is broken. Connection is based on line of sight and working in an industrial environment around staging and interferences makes this a common occurrence.S/11 Metrology currently uses Leica Trackers and needs this Leica tracker to be compatible with software currently used by the Metrology department and other entities within the Shipyard.

_X The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the

Government

MPE ADM accuracy ±10 µm. Interferometer accuracy ±0.4 µm + 0.3 µm/m.

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. Just describe the equipment you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

Since we already own and use Leica Trackers, we already have the needed software to use the Leica tracker, Spatial Analyzer. The mounting interface with the Leica tracker is compatible with our CMM Romer arms so existing Equipment can be utilized. Probes used by the Leica are compatible with CMM Romer arm probes that we already own. The Leica is already in the Cal system at PSNS&IMF.

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

Powerlock Technology Applies.

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

X Other information to support a sole-source buy:

The use of the Leica and software that we already own in parallel with engineering groups throughout PSNS that use the same equipment. By using the same brand software we can collaborate for training and interoperability (sharing attachments and related metrology supplies). This brand of equipment has history at PSNS has history at PSNS as being reliable and easy to use.

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.
