Intent to sole source

The requested items are required to maintain and upgrade our existing Argus Systems to keep them in working order. These requested parts are OEM specific with no aftermarket available compatible parts for the existing equipment and are only sold through Argus. Upgrades are also OEM parts for maintaining chamber quality and replacing older obsolete components. Argus does not sell through distributers. Use of these parts are required due to warranty requirements as well as compatibility and are not available through other commercial sources.
