This Sole Source Additional Data document details a procurement for specialized Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) equipment for the Trident Refit Facility Bangor (TRFB). The document lists multiple Cobra Wedge, Wire Encoder, Scanner, Probe, and OmniScan instruments, with quantities ranging from 3-6 units per item, all designated for Open Purchase.

The justification for sole sourcing is based on specific NDT equipment requirements from Evident Scientific (Olympus) that are critical for shipboard piping, pressure vessel, and structural inspections at TRFB and associated Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) locations. The document emphasizes that only Evident Scientific can provide these proprietary instruments, and using alternative Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) equipment would risk mission degradation and potentially compromise the Navy's Fleet support functions. The procurement is authorized under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing unique scientific equipment needs.
