FARO Technoloaies Inc. — Sole Source Justification
To Whom It May Concern,
Nasdaq: FARO
www.FARO.com
I am the public safety account manager responsible for selling FARO hardware & software in the state
of Arkansas.
When doing a generic search of "3D Scanner", a wide variety of potential vendors will likely appear. To
get a better understanding if a vendor is truly a sole source, one must tighten the search parameters
based on several factors. The most important of these are the end -user needs and requirements.
While there may be numerous vendors that provide laser scanners, only a small few provide a full
solution capable of satisfying the demanding needs of the public safety sector as well as the academic
needs of forensic & criminal justice programs across the nation.
What makes FARO unique:
The FARO Focus Premium 3D Laser Scanner solution is unique in a multitude of ways that
demonstrates why it is the only product that satisfies the functional requirements as well as
meet the criteria of a sole source.
o The FARO solution is the most scientifically validated solution in the market and the only
one that does digital security hashing at the scanner level vs. the software level, which
could easily be contested in court that the data has been potentially altered between
scanner capture and software deliverable.
■ Hash values and metadata are important for authenticating digital evidence in
court under the Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE) 901:
■ Hash values
• Unique numerical identifiers that confirm digital evidence has remained
intact since it was collected. The chance of two data sets having the
same hash value is less than one in one billion.
• FRE 901 establishes the foundation for presenting evidence in court by
requiring that it be properly authenticated or identified as genuine. The
rule allows for various methods of authentication to accommodate
different types of evidence and situations.
o The FARO Focus Premium is compatible with FLASH technology which enables 30
second color scans, the fastest scan time available.
o The FARO Focus has the longest scanner range available, capable of scanning 400
meters, which allows end -users to capture scenes more quickly.
MA-RF-150 - FARO Letterhead HQ REV July 2, 2020
F :��
o The FARO Focus Premium leverages a STREAM app that allows for remote operation
of the scanner (improves officer safety), scan visualization and onsite registration to
ensure all data is captured accurately prior to leaving the scene, which reduces the need
for officers to have to go back out to a scene.
o The FARO Focus Premium does not use proprietary storage means, but rather a
standard SD card storage plus an internal solid state hard drive allowing for universal
and multiple data storage means. SD cards can easily, and cost effectively be
purchased for use. Additionally, this prevents your scanner from ever acting as the
primary storage device and potentially being subpoenaed in a case as the original data
medium (such as using cell phone to take pictures of crime scene).
o FARO is the only scanner manufacturer whose software has photogrammetry and
videogrammetry capabilities, which allows for direct importing of drone, cell phone,
DSLR, & videos to create 3D point clouds. Additionally, there are advanced features like
virtual reality (VR) capability, Google and Bing aerial image availability, AI -driven scene
cleanup tools, seamless integration of a vehicle's CDR (Crash Data Recorder) data,
slope calculator and the availability of 1,600 high quality vehicle models. These
industry -leading advanced features make it easy to perform accurate analysis of an
event and produce detailed visuals, such as precise 2D and 3D diagrams, compelling
animations, and courtroom ready reports.
o From a security perspective the FARO Focus doesn't require cloud services nor wireless
transmission of any sensitive data and also doesn't require the use of any
secondary/external devices to control (completely self-contained unit with viewing
screen).
o Direct, hassle free integration with Axon data storage platform
o Extensive experience partnering with colleges and universities across the nation leading
to valuable experience structuring and developing a program around our technology as
well as access to established course curriculums already deployed across the US.
o Seamless integration with other loca, state, and federal agencies using the same FARO
solutions (Arkansas State Police, Arkansas Game & Fish, FBI, Fort Smith Police
Department, etc...)
Rest assured that FARO stands behind our industry -leading digital reality capture solutions and we
look forward to working with you and your team with this latest technology to improve your agency's
forensic capabilities.
