X Description of the item or service required, the estimated cost, and required delivery date.

C/135 is requesting DLA to purchase Zetec’s Historical Data Compare (HDC) software site license for 12 months to be able to perform trend analysis on eddy current data collected on

US Navy Ships heat exchangers. The estimated cost is and the RDD is September 1, 2025.

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.

Historical Data Compare (HDC) is a proprietary software module developed exclusively by Zetec that enables automated comparison of current and prior eddy current inspection data for heat exchanger tubing. It retrieves and aligns historical inspection records, applies configurable logic to identify new, changing, or recurring flaw indications, and presents side-by-side signal overlays to support defect trending and degradation analysis. No other software is compatible with Zetec’s inspection data formats or provides integrated historical comparison within the Zetec RevospECT or Velocity platforms. As a result, HDC is only available through

Zetec and constitutes a sole source procurement.

X The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the

Government.

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.

C/135 is currently using Zetec’s Velocity software to perform mission critical eddy current inspections at PSNS, Japan and San Diego, on US Navy Ships heat exchangers. Velocity is required to be able to access and utilize the HDC license requested. The HDC license requested also works in conjunction with Zetec’s RevospECT auto analysis license, which C/135 is also currently utilizing to perform inspections.

X A patent, copyright, or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is:

Velocity operates using non-public file types, signal processing algorithms and configuration structures that are unique to Zetec and inaccessible through third party platforms.

____These are “direct replacements” parts/components for existing brand name equipment.

X Other information to support a sole-source buy:

Per Zetec, HDC is only available through Zetec’s Internet License Distribution System as it functions with the existing RevospECT licenses.

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.
