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.

• These machines will be used in conjunction with the current machines in the shop.

With the purchase of these machines, there will be no need to re-train the workforce on how to run them. There is also currently a method in place to program these machines that will not need to be changed or updated with these machines.

• These machines are currently in use throughout the shipyard in multiple shops. Using this manufacturer and types of machines will allow for the outside shops that use them on the waterfront to be familiar with the new addition, thus reducing training required and exposure when in use.

• The shop is experienced at maintaining these machines. Introducing additional machines of the same make will not cause for any additional training for the department.

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

CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed. Justi Describe the equipment you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

There are currently 2ea FARO inspection arms in use in the Toolmakers area. They are both old and need of replacement. To change manufacturer and begin using a new system would require a complete overhaul of the inspection process. This would take inspectors off line for a minimum of a full week and require them to train fill-ins as soon as they return from training, costing the shop an estimated $20,000 in employee time lost due to training.

Using the same manufacturer will require a small amount of training to become familiar with the new interface. Using the systems that the inspectors are familiar with will reduce the chance of erroneous readings, improve the shops’ first time quality, and ensure that the customers are receiving the tooling required.

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

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