JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE ($5k-$250k) Ref: FAR 13.106(b)

The service or material listed on JML’s 12246930, 12246931, and 12246932 is sole source and competition must be restricted to one source, or to only one brand name for reasons indicated below. There are no substitutes available for this material.

Restricted to the following source or brand name. Provide original manufacturer's name.

(If a sole source manufacturer distributes via dealers, ALSO provide dealer information.)

Manufacturer: Zetec Manufacturer POC & Phone Nr. Kevin Archer,(425)974-2701 Mfr. Address 8226 Bracken Place SE Suite 100, Snoqualmie, Wa 98065 Manufacturers Dealer/Rep NA Dealer/Rep Address/Phone Number

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

Code 135 requests to purchase ten (10) CXB4 490 LF array, one (1) CXB4 490 MR array and three (3) BSTBB 490 LF bobbin eddy current probes to continue eddy current inspection support on the CVN 71 project.

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.

Zetec (OEM) manufactured all existing inspection equipment utilized by PSNS Code 135 to perform array eddy current inspection on condenser tubing. The probes requested must be manufactured by Zetec to ensure that the data can be acquired and analyzed with the existing equipment to accurately determine the condition of the condenser tubing.

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.

Code 135 currently utilizes equipment manufactured by Zetec to collect and analyze eddy current array and bobbin data obtained from the condenser tubing inspected on board US Navy Ships. The eddy current array probes requested interface with the existing equipment to allow the collection of eddy current data required to determine the condition of the condensers inspected. The eddy current array probe in conjunction with the MIZ-200 tester detects conductivity variations in the tubing wall and transmits this data electrically to a storage device for analysis and evaluation. The eddy current array probes have to meet form, fit and function of existing Zetec eddy current equipment to be able to collect useable data.

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

Zetec has proprietary rights to the CXB-4 array probe design.

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

Other information to support a sole-source buy:

Zetec is a NAVSEA approved source for eddy current inspection equipment.

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.
