Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source (unique features, function of the item, etc).

Additionally, there are associated technical data rights required in order to perform the repair and without this data, no other vendor can produce or sustain the Tube Coordinate Measuring System (Articulate Arm).

(Explain) This requirement is to repair specific components of the TCMS/CMM that was originally manufactured by Hexagon.
