Justification for Sole Source Procurement
This document is a Justification for Sole Source Procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b) issued by DLA Weapons Support Puget Sound, dated October 16, 2025, with a price range of $15,000 to $350,000.
The government requires procurement of two Formlabs Form 4 Complete packages and one Formlabs Form 4L Complete Package, including installation, service warranty/coverage, and accessories necessary for successful startup and operations. The sole source justification is based on multiple factors: Formlabs equipment and software are the only resin printer systems that have been vetted through Code 106 Safety review and Code 109 DADMS approval; the equipment is already in use within the organization and represents direct replacements for existing equipment; Formlabs holds patents on their equipment, materials, and software; and the organization's personnel have been trained on Formlabs-specific processes, materials handling, and complex programming for resin-made parts. The justification documents that no substitute equipment with equivalent capabilities and compliance approvals is available from competing manufacturers. The sole source manufacturer is Formlabs, located at 35 Medford Street Suite 201, Somerville, MA 02143, with a manufacturer point of contact at 617-702-8451. The dealer/representative contact is listed with phone number 253-358-8802. The Contracting Officer, digitally signed on June 30, 2026, certified that this sole-source justification precludes the use of full and open competition.
