1. Restrictive Rights: The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights, or secret processes in the item or service required.
2. Exclusive Licensing Agreements: The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM), or there is only one authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.
This specific Gamry equipment is required due to compatibility with other Gamry equipment already owned by NSWCCD. The utilized software will not function with equipment from other OEMs. There are no resellers for Gamry equipment. Gamry is the only source for this equipment/software.
This supply is for the purchase of a highly specialized electrochemical laboratory instrument, which requires a sophisticated and expensive proprietary software control and analysis package that is intimately integrated with the instrument. has many years of training and hands-on experience with the Gamry control and analysis software and has purchased licenses for additional functions beyond the stock software normally provided with a new unit. The control and analysis software products created by the Gamry system are in a proprietary format.
Selecting an instrument (and its corresponding proprietary software) from another source would
1. Require the purchase of additional software to replicate the Gamry functions
2. Require personnel to be trained on the new system
3. Require conversion of large historical data sets to a new format
3. Other Reasons:
