    The document outlines the need for sole source procurement of re-certification services for equipment owned by NFPC, specifically Faro Technologies' lasers used by the Navy. These lasers are essential for producing and repairing Navy propellers to meet critical operational deadlines. The re-certification, required annually per the Navy's METCAL program, can only be performed by the OEM, Faro Technologies, which prohibits third-party service providers. Despite conducting a market survey, no alternative vendors were identified that could meet the necessary certification standards. Therefore, NFPC intends to proceed with Faro Technologies as the sole source provider, underscoring the significance of adhering to the original manufacturer’s stipulations to maintain equipment usability and Navy compliance. This document serves to justify the decision for limited competition in procurement due to the unique qualifications of Faro Technologies.
