The statutory authority for this sole source acquisition is FAR 13.106-1(b) by the authority of FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. ***** Sole source determination is based on the need to acquire a fuel cell hydration measurement camera system that uses and offers a high frame rate imaging of 100 and has software compatible with that used by NIST which will allow the equipment to work with existing Andor Technology. The fuel cell hydration measurement camera system to be used for high resolution imaging of fuel cells which is a critical part of the PML's mission. PML's Neutron Imaging Facility has developed sophisticated image acquisition software based on the Andor sCMOS imaging device purchased previously.
