    The document outlines a justification for a sole-source purchase of a Creaform MetraSCAN BLACK+ 3D Inspection Scanning System by the Watervliet Arsenal (WVA). It states that competition is neither feasible nor practicable due to the proprietary nature of the equipment and the need for compatibility with existing systems, as only Creaform can provide direct replacement parts and technical support. The WVA has already invested nearly $1 million in Creaform technology and associated training, indicating that switching to another brand would incur additional costs and complicate operations. The acquisition will be executed on a non-competitive basis, with the potential for bidding among authorized distributors. This procurement approach aligns with federal regulations, emphasizing the impracticality of obtaining competition for this unique and specialized equipment essential to WVA's inspection processes. The review affirms the importance of maintaining equipment compatibility to ensure operational integrity and efficiency.

Key instructions emphasize compliance with security protocols, delivery requirements, and contractor responsibilities regarding personnel access to facilities.
