The Bosch Spectrum / Divar5000 camera system meets the specifications required. Several similar or identical systems have been installed on the installation by this manufacturer for redundancy in design, installation, operation, part stock, maintenance, and testing to ensure that in the event of mechanical maintenance/malfunction or deployment due to fire, the greatest efficiency in operation and maintenance may be achieved at least cost to the government in labor and materials. Also, all parts must be supplies by an authorized Bosch Distributor as licensing for the cameras is an issue if a third party buys it the license will be put in their name causes McAAP thousands in licensing fees.

6. REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES. COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING SYSTEM, IF APPLICABLE, & NON-CONPATIBILITY COULD RESULT IN EXCESSIVE ADDITIONAL MANUFACTURING AND/OR

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS.

Installing similar systems where possible ensures part compatibility and cost savings to the government due to redundancy in O&M and shop stock, where similar parts can be stocked for interchangeability and be applicable to several systems if repair is needed. This is paramount with these types of systems because of their critical importance in explosive operations and the potential of mission delay or failure.

7. EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN

COMMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

For the aforementioned reasons, efforts should be directed toward procuring similar systems due to the nature of the operations they support and their long-lead manufacturing. Redundancy is important for these types of systems where components are not readily available for order and keeping them on-hand for different types of systems is costly and can be avoided.

8. PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIER TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED. IF THIS IS A FOLLOW-ON ACTION TO A PREVIOUSLY COMPETED ACTION, SO STATE.

Due to the nature of the equipment and the operations to which it supports, none can be identified at this time.
