Attachments: Attachment 1: Statement of Work
Sole Source Reasoning:
All machine functions must be verified as operating correctly, and all meters must be confirmed to be calibrated within acceptable tolerances. This level of inspection requires intimate knowledge of the equipment's proprietary design, internal components, and manufacturer-specified performance parameters, knowledge that is exclusively held by the Hannon Company as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Furthermore, the Hannon Company is the only source capable of providing on-site training to government personnel on the operation and maintenance of this proprietary equipment. This training component is integral to the requirement and cannot be disaggregated from the calibration and inspection services.
