__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.

S\11 currently owns the Leica AT960 Laser Tracker. The requested scanning kit is the proprietary Leica scanning kit designed for use with the Leica AT960 laser tracker; this kit is specifically designed for interfacing with the Leica AT960 using power lock technology. This scanning bundle is the only compatible scanning add on to the Leica AT960 laser tracker that the OEM can stand behind in terms of guaranteed and calibrated accuracy.

This equipment unlocks the true potential and scanning capabilities of the Leica AT960 laser tracker that we currently own and have been trained to utilize.

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

The laser tracker we utilize for taking quantitative measurements is a Leica brand AT960. The scanning kit is the recommended part for the Tracker from the manufacturer. We rely on the tracker for its ability to take precise measurements and pick up accurate part features, and the tracker and scanning kit are specifically designed to work as a seamless unit. If we start utilizing other manufacturers accessories (I really don’t like to use that term, as the “scanning kit” is actually an extension of the tracker), we will not have the guaranteed and calibrated accuracy that is backed by the manufacturer.

If it is not a recommended part from the manufacturer, as a level of practice for operations or repairs, we do not add it to the equipment. I will restate this as it is important - We do not add parts to equipment that are not recommended by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) -. To suggest otherwise could be considered negligence on our part and could void any guarantee of performance.
