SOLE SOURCE_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b) for document numbers 61243540 through 61243546, signed by the Contracting Officer at DLA Weapons Support Puget Sound on October 16, 2025.

The procurement is for the purchase of Creaform HandyScan Black+Elite handheld laser 3D scanners and general support equipment, with an estimated cost between $15,000 and $350,000 and a required delivery date of June 1, 2026. The justification establishes that this equipment is restricted to a single source and brand due to specific technical characteristics that limit availability to the manufacturer. The HandyScan equipment performs accurate and precise measurements in almost any location, takes large-area highly detailed 3D scans, and compresses data to a usable point for rendering virtual piping layouts. The equipment is compatible with existing software already in use and exceeds three cubic feet of scanning capacity, making it suitable for an industrial environment. The justification cites proprietary manufacturing by Creaform as the limiting factor for competition. Additionally, the documentation notes that HandyScan is the most compatible system for the Faro Arm and has become the corporate standard, currently in use at other shipyards and supporting knowledge-sharing across facilities. The contracting officer certifies that the statements are complete and correct and that the sole-source justification precludes the use of full and open competition.
