Only one source or brand name is reasonably available as detailed below: Brand Name - This particular brand name is essential to the requirement and market research indicates similar products do not meet or cannot be modified to meet agency needs.

Compatibility to existing systems or equipment - The required supplies or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems or equipment and the source is uniquely qualified to meet the requirement. The equipment to be purchased is only manufactured by Northwest Marine Technology Inc. and is the only product on the market that is compatible with the coast-wide salmon tagging studies and with the equipment used at Little Port Walter Field Station for coded-wire tagging, which eliminates all other manufacturers as possible substitutes.
