2. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR SOLE SOURCE BASED ON CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION

Simply stated, 3D Systems, Inc. is the only source in the US for machine sales, parts and service of the ProX DMP 200.

In addition to the sole OEM, the requirement is inherently noncompetitive due to proprietary control software and proprietary hardware. The internal control software and hardware on this device are proprietary and exclusive to the control logic and mechanism of this machine only. With some small exceptions, any non-OEM replacement parts and service will void the warranty, the service contract and machine components therein.

Therefore, 3D Systems, Inc. is the only company that can provide these materials and repair services. Only one responsible source and no other services or components will satisfy agency requirements in accordance with FAR 6.302-1.

3. MARKET SURVEY
