3. Identification of the single source or the brand name to be solicited.

Phillips Machine and Welding Company, Inc. DBA Phillips Aerospace, 16125 East Gale Avenue, City of Industry, CA 91745

4. Supporting rationale. Only one source or brand name is reasonably available as detailed below:

Other - Only one source is capable – Although similar products and services are available from other manufacturers, use of these products and services would introduce an unacceptable level of performance risk. The current system, comprised of ADI hardware, is subject to strict cybersecurity policies and protocols. Procurement of items from a different manufacturer voids current warranties, introduces possible vulnerabilities in the system and requires additional training and maintenance of different systems.

5. Market Research.

As discussed in the market research report, the market research conducted involved searching the internet for vendors who are able to furnish repair services and active maintenance for Boeing Spacecraft Emulators EACE Cards (BSE EACE Cards) and contacting individuals with personal knowledge of similar or identical types of services. After utilizing these methods and as discussed above, it was determined that, as the original supplier of the BSE EACE Cards, Phillips is the only resource qualified to maintain these emulators.
