DITMCO Model 2650, Modular Test Analyzer (MTA) System

Other / Unclassified

This document is a Contracting Officer's Determination Memorandum for a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) purchase less than the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). It outlines the justification for procuring a DITMCO 2650 system with an upgrade from a single source.

This memorandum explains that the requirement is a brand name procurement due to restricted rights in the computer software code and hardware architecture. DIT-MCO International Corporation is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the automated test stations currently in use. The justification highlights that LEAD currently utilizes separate DIT-MCO workstations and has extensive test cables, adapters, and test files specific to this equipment. Procuring a different make/model would incur significant additional labor costs, training requirements, development of new test programs, and fabrication of new test cables and adapters, estimated to be approximately [REDACTED] man years of effort. This document is relevant to potential bidders as it explains the rationale behind a sole-source award for specific DITMCO equipment, indicating that competition is limited due to proprietary hardware and software.
