The document outlines a sole-source justification for procuring specialized vibration measurement equipment from Svantek. The request pertains to the purchase of various devices designed to measure hand-arm and whole-body vibrations, including the SV 106D Human Vibration Meter and several accelerometers. The sole-source status is justified due to the unique capabilities of Svantek equipment, which can perform simultaneous measurements from multiple sources, does not require Wi-Fi, and is compact for portability. The existing equipment—Svantek 106 Vibration Meter and 103 Hand-arm Vibration Dosimeter—necessitates the procurement of compatible components from the same manufacturer. The submission certifies that the information provided is accurate, underscoring that these items represent the minimum requirements for government use while confirming that no alternatives or competitive sources exist due to proprietary limitations. This justification emphasizes the commitment to ensuring compatibility and compliance with specific technical standards necessary for operational effectiveness.
