Title 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements as implemented by FAR 6.302-(1)(c). Rationale Supporting Use of Authority Cited. The items under this justification are peculiar to two manufacturers, Sony and Fujinon. AFIT camera equipment has met its life cycle of 5 years and several configuration specific items are in need of an upgrade. At the current time, AFIT has no critical spares on hand. Sony and Fujinon are the only known brands that can meet the current configuration and meet the government requirement without procuring additional equipment. Buying any other brands would result in the government replacing the existing infrastructure at an additional cost of approximately $60,651.20 to include man hours, and possibly more due to training.
