This document outlines a justification for a sole-source procurement of the Starrett HB400-2ME Optical Projector, priced between $5,000 and $250,000. The sole-source request is based on the absence of substitutes and is particularly significant due to its unique features approved for use by NAVSEA for calibration at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS). The projector is essential for compliance with new inspection requirements and will be utilized in projects involving condenser tubing measurements to assess the need for service continuation. The existing optical projectors used by trained inspectors align with this model's specifications, emphasizing the necessity for compatibility and the lack of alternatives. The document asserts that the procurement process will not allow for full competition while certifying the completeness of the information provided. This justification supports the government’s aim to maintain operational efficiency and ensures that only compatible and adequately trained equipment is utilized in its services.
