NOTICE OF INTENT: (75N98026Q01033)
Sole Source Justification and Notice Authority: FAR 6.302-1 — Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements

Entrusting this work to any third-party provider risks improper installation, miscalibration, and potential damage to the broader optical system, which would be detrimental to the imaging performance the Core and its users depend on. It is important to prevent time lost due to inoperability of the system without proper integration, resulting in the loss of work hours on the research imaging experiments
Nikon Instruments Inc. is the only source capable of supplying the compatible replacement laser unit and providing the specialized technical service required to restore the system to full operational specification.
System Compatibility: The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems presently installed. The current equipment is, and the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system. A patent, copyright, proprietary data, or licensing agreement...
