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

Code 135 requests DLA to purchase eight (8) Zetec MIZ-21C Array eddy current surface array probes, P/N SURFXW-S01, to support eddy current inspections on the ACE elevators on the RNN project.

_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 original equipment manufacturer of the MIZ-21C Array eddy current inspection instrument and associated cabling and probes currently owned and being utilized by C/135 to perform eddy current surface array inspections on carrier projects. This equipment, along with the various designed probes and probe attachments, will be used to perform critical eddy current surface array inspections on the ACE elevators onboard the carrier projects to determine their structural integrity and identify any repairs necessary. The Zetec MIZ-21C Array and surface array probes is the only equipment currently approved to perform surface array on the ACE elevators.

_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 surface array probes purchased must be compatible in fit and function with the existing MIZ-21C Array instrument to ensure the system will operate as designed and provide acceptable signal responses when inspecting the ACE elevators. Due to the proprietary design of this equipment, any attempt to inter change non-conforming parts not designed for the MIZ-21C Array instrument could result in equipment malfunction and inability to perform eddy current surface array inspections on the ACE elevators.

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

The MIZ-21C Array eddy current instrument and associated equipment has proprietary restriction designs, and will not be released for duplication purposes.

_ _ 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 surface array inspection equipment.

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.
