    B03 Sole Source Justification - TS-4575FDM Upgrades_Redacted.pdf
    The memorandum outlines a sole source justification for procuring upgrades for the Navy’s TS-4575/FDM Gamma Irradiators from Hopewell Designs, Inc. According to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), contracting officers may solicit from one source if circumstances dictate that only one source is reasonably available. The upgrades are necessary for improving the calibration efficiency of the Navy's IM-276A/PD Battlefield Dosimeters, and must be performed by the original equipment manufacturer due to proprietary software and exclusive rights held by Hopewell Designs. The memorandum states that HDI uniquely possesses the necessary knowledge and rights to ensure proper installation and functionality of the upgrades. Therefore, no other company can meet these specific requirements, qualifying the procurement as a sole source under federal regulations. The document concludes with certifications and approvals attesting to the accuracy of the information and the necessity of proceeding without full and open competition.
