Sole Source Justification & Market Research
The government's intent to award a sole source contract to 4D Technology Corporation is justified because they are identified as the only OEM-certified technician with access to proprietary equipment necessary to guarantee the machine's precision. 4D Technology Corporation will not sell data rights, and other third-party providers are not authorized. Market research conducted using SAM databases (NAICS Code 811210, PSC J066) yielded zero other vendors capable of providing this specialized service. A previous contract (FA813221P0038) was also awarded to 4D Technology Corporation. The government acknowledges the current lack of competition but will seek opportunities to increase competition for future services, potentially through in-house training.
