Subject: Sole Source Letter
To whom it may concern:
The Integrated Ballistic Identification System (IBIS®) uses technology that encompasses several patents protected in the United States and throughout the world. As such, manufacturing and servicing these products require access to proprietary and commercially sensitive information that is only accessible to employees of Forensic Technology (Canada) Inc. and its affiliate company Forensic Technology Inc.
(hereinafter collectively referred to as Forensic Technology).
Consequently, only Forensic Technology, the exclusive manufacturer of IBIS and Quantum 3D Microscope™ (Q3M), can provide their proprietary products IBIS BRASSTRAX, IBIS BULLETTRAX, IBIS MATCHPOINT, IBIS Data Concentrator, IBIS Correlation Engine, and Q3M, as well as maintenance, upgrades and services, including data migration, moving and training services pertaining thereto.
Furthermore IBIS, currently in use in the United States under the ATF NIBIN program, is the only technology that has undergone extensive testing and complies with the security standards needed for integration into NIBIN. Other ballistic identification technologies are not compatible with NIBIN.
Sincerely yours, Stacy Stern Chief Revenue Officer (CRO)
