Evaluation
This was a sole-source justification, not a competitive solicitation. Therefore, no proposal submission instructions or evaluation criteria were provided. The justification cited unique features and custom design requirements that limit alternatives, restricting competition to Measurement Systems International.
Additional Notes
The retrofit kits were custom designed in collaboration with MSI and C/2370. There are no acceptable substitutions for these kits, as the material/service must be fully compatible (form, fit, and function) with existing systems.
