Single-Sole Source Determination
Brand-name or Items peculiar to one manufacturer:
The essential characteristics of the K4b2 units that limit the availability to a sole source are
software and hardware upgrade and unit calibration. Only this suggested source can furnish the
requirements, to the exclusion of other sources, because the software, hardware and ability to
calibrate units is proprietary information of the Cosmed company.

The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing
systems presently installed. The current equipment is the Cosmed K4b2 units.
