The object of this sole source award is to require the purchase of VAKI Micro Splithead digital camera/counter head and VAKI¿specified PC. Confirmed through VAKI that replacement components must be OEM due to proprietary firmware and software. No alternate manufacturers produce compatible camera heads or system PCs. General market review found no equivalent products that integrate with existing VAKI systems. No other vendors produce components compatible with VAKI¿s proprietary hardware, firmware, or software. Non¿OEM parts cannot interface with the system and would void support. No other sources expressed capability. Proprietary optical components; firmware locked to OEM hardware; system requires OEM¿certified installation, configuration, and support. These factors prevent competition for the required replacement equipment. VAKI is the original equipment manufacturer for the Micro Splithead system and the sole provider of compatible hardware, firmware, and service. Only VAKI can supply components that maintain system functionality...
