A patent, copyright, proprietary data, or licensing agreement limits competition.

These are "direct replacement" parts/components for existing equipment.

The FACET modules will be used to replace outdated equipment and to expand the lab’s capabilities to include both analog and digital communications methods. This equipment must be fully compatible with other existing LabVolt equipment to conduct the required lab exercises.

The EMS modules will be used to augment and upgrade existing equipment and to expand the number of laboratory exercises that can be conducted. This equipment will bring the existing equipment in the Power Systems lab to the current LabVolt standard. This equipment must be fully compatible with other existing LabVolt equipment to conduct the required lab exercises.

6.1 Compatibility Statement:

6.2 Copyright / Proprietary Data / Licensing Agreement Statement:

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) uses Festo-Didactic LabVolt series equipment in the Circuits and Signals Laboratories and the Power Systems Laboratories for educating ECE students in communications circuits, power electronics, and rotating machinery. The FACET modules and EMS modules are required to replace and augment existing equipment in the laboratories.

These new modules must be fully compatible with existing Festo-Didactic LabVolt equipment in form, fit, and function to permit the use of existing lab exercises and computer control equipment.

7. Brand Name (if applicable, detail why the procurement is restricted to a specific brand name manufacturer):

8. Additional information supporting a sole source acquisition:

Festo Didactic acquired Labvolt brand and is now the manufacturer of the product line. Festo Didactic has many resellers across the US. It is not available through GSA.
