Justification for Sole Source The requested supplies are manufactured solely by Nortek USA Inc. based on company is the only vendor to provide both types of current sensors required with the inductive modem interface. In addition the NDBC has made efforts to replace the current Sontek current sensors which are no longer in production and NDBC have been deploying the Nortek Aquadopp profilers and point source current meters side by side with the Sonteks. Therefore the Aquadopp profilers and point source current meters must be maintained by the NDBC.
