    The memorandum outlines a proposed sole-source procurement for semi-preventative maintenance and calibration services on the Marietta Digital X-Ray Machine at the Corpus Christi Army Depot. The contract, valued at an undetermined amount, aims to be awarded to Marietta Non-Destructive Testing, LLC, due to the proprietary software needed to operate the equipment, which cannot be sourced elsewhere. The Base Period for the contract spans from November 27, 2024, to November 26, 2025, with two additional option periods extending through 2027. The justification for limiting competition is anchored on the necessity for proprietary software updates from Marietta, which are crucial for maintaining the machine's functionality.
