JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE ($5k-$250k) Ref: FAR 13.106(b)

The service or material listed on (Document number) 11593767 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.)

Manufacturer: THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC, INC Manufacturer POC & Phone Nr.: JAN STOUGHTON/ Ph: 503-726-7519 Mfr. Address: 168 THIRD AVENUE, WALTHAM, MA 02451-7551 Manufacturers Dealer/Rep: Thermo Eberline LLC (POC: Rich Palatine) Dealer/Rep Address/Phone Number: 27 Forge Parkway, Franklin, Massachusetts 02038-3135, Ph: (770)703-9933 or (800) 274-4212

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

The required equipment is a remote radiation detection package consisting of Thermo Fisher RadEye detectors, associated wireless transmission hardware, and display units. This equipment is able to transmit radiological survey data to a remote computer or visual display unit in lieu of sending personnel into a radiation field. This equipment will allow PSNS & IMF to expand the capabilities of the existing Thermo Fisher remote detection system already in use.

__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.

The shipyard requires the use of additional radiation detection instruments to incorporate into its existing Thermo Fisher EPD telemetry and WAM 500 system. Per NAVSEA Letter Ser 08R/18-00602 dated 2 February 2018, NAVSEA has approved the utilization of remote EPD monitoring specifically for the Thermo Fisher Scientific EPD telemetry equipment. All remote radiological monitoring data (from existing ThermoFisher EPDs and WAMs as well as from the new instruments) must be compatible with the same system, thus it is required that the new instruments and display units be compatible with the Thermo Fisher Viewpoint software which is currently in use. The equipment can only be purchased directly from the manufacturer.

_ X__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.

____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:

The new equipment shall function as part of the Thermo Fisher remote radiological monitoring system currently in use at PSNS & IMF. This new equipment will expand PSNS & IMF capabilities to collect and display radiological data, which may be displayed using PSNS & IMF Thermo Fisher remote radiological monitoring system. Purchasing this equipment will allow PSNS & IMF to remotely monitor personnel radiation exposure and radiation survey data at the same time on the same screen via the Thermo Fisher Viewpoint and Visual Display RD-X software. This Thermo Fisher remote radiological monitoring system is currently used in all Shipyard operations which utilize wireless telemetry.

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.
