About this file
This document is a Justification for Sole Source for the purchase of ultrasonic phase array equipment consisting of 4 phased array probe wedges and 6 phased array probes, with an estimated cost and required delivery date of July 22, 2024. The sole source is justified because the equipment is specific to and compatible with the existing Olympus Omniscan X3 ultrasonic instruments owned by the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS), and Evident Scientific, Inc. (formerly Olympus) is the only manufacturer that can provide the required equipment. The requested items are the minimum required to support shipboard piping, pressure vessel and structural inspections performed by PSNS. The sole source is based on Evident's proprietary designs, which preclude competition.
The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation (SPMYM224Q2096) for UT Wedge, which is a HubZone set-aside. The solicitation requires electronic submission of quotes through SAM.gov, and the contractor must have a current NIST SP 800-171 assessment if the requirement applies (COTS items are exempt). Bids must be submitted via email or fax, and the solicitation number must be referenced.

X Description of the item or service required, the estimated cost, and required delivery date.
C/135 requests DLA to purchase ultrasonic phase array equipment consisting of 4 each phased array probe wedges, P/N SPWZ1-N55S-IHC and 6 each phased array probes, P/N 2.25L60-60X10- PWZ1-P-2.5-OM to be used with existing Olympus Omniscan X3 ultrasonic instruments. The estimated cost is and the required delivery date is July 22, 2024. This is required to support shipboard piping, pressure vessel and structural inspections performed at PSNS and associated commands.
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 inspection equipment requested is manufactured specific to Olympus (OEM) Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) equipment and the inspection requirements currently in use by PSNS weld inspection codes. Only Evident (Olympus) manufactured equipment requested will interface with the existing Olympus instruments and Evident is the only source for this equipment.
Failure to procure requested probes and wedges manufactured by Evident would result in failure to perform required inspections during the ship’s availability. Also, C/135 inspectors are trained and certified with this specific equipment.
X The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the Government.
These are the minimum requirements to prepare for expected increase in phased array inspection workload.
CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW
X The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed. Describe the equipment you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.
PSNS currently has over $1,000,000 in Olympus PAUT equipment, and the items requested for purchase are specific to Olympus NDT equipment and must be able to interface in form, fit and function with the existing equipment owned by PSNS inspection codes for the equipment to function correctly.
X A patent, copyright, or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is:
Sole source is based on the proprietary designs owned and not released by Evident, therefore, no additional market research was conducted.
____These are “direct replacements” parts/components for existing brand name equipment.
Other information to support a sole-source buy:
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.
