Impediment to Competition
The Government has identified Howell Instruments Inc. as the sole source due to their status as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Howell Instruments Inc. maintains the configuration by part number and software version, and the Government does not possess the necessary data, drawings, schematics, or other releasable technical data to support competitive procurement. Therefore, Howell Instruments Inc. is considered the only known source with the required knowledge, technical data, and capabilities to produce these items and ensure compatibility.
