    This document outlines a proposal for single-source procurement of preventative maintenance and software support for MRO-200B wire marking machines used by the 896 TSS/RNMS due to operational requirements related to MOD installations on multiple airframe types. It highlights that the proprietary rights for the necessary machine source code are owned by Laselec, with no alternative vendors or authorized resellers available. Market research confirmed the lack of competition, as no authorized sellers were found for the required part, necessitating the single-source approach.
