Procurement Policies
Rapped By Jersey Man
By ELMER C. WALZER
UPI Financial Editor
NEW YORK (UPI) The U.S.
Government insists when it asks
for bids for supplies there must
be at least two sources seeking
the contract.
This brings in complications
when a concern has an exclusive
patented device and tries to get
a government contract. In that
case there , could be only one
bidder.
George Pandapas, founder and
president of Electro Tec Corp. of
South Hackcnsack, N.J., has run
into just that predicament.
Pandapas holds that the govern
ment looks with favor on only
one kind of monopoly the legal
monopoly over a production idea
or a process that is granted to
an individual or corporation by
issuance of a patent.
"It seems incongruous," he
says, "that the procurement poli
cies of the same government that
grants patents should be in direct
conflict with this system of pro
tection. "Surely the fact that a develop
mentwhether a better slip ring
or the proverbial mousetrap is
worthy of a patent is indicative of
a certain measure of superiority.
"It is a sad and somewhat dis
couraging fact that government
procurement policies are such that
all too often the proprietary, pat
ented product is shunned simply
because it is proprietary and pat
ented." He holds' (hat by insisting on
two sources of supply (he govern
ment "is depriving the defense ef
fort of much equipment that could

perform better with greater de
pendability."
Electro Tec Corp. holds a pat
ent on slip rings which are essen
tial in the making of missiles.
There are others in the field but
their product differs in perform
ance from Electro Tec's.
A slip ring, as Pandapas ex
plains it, is a precision rotary con
ductor of electricity between a
moving part and a stationary one,
without which no U.S. missile
would ever leave its pad."
Pandapas has asked for a con
gressional investigation of what he
calls "policies, dangerous and de
leterious to the work of our sci
entists in probing outer space and
developing space programs."
Electro Tec was founded in 1945
by Pandapas on 450 square feet
of space in Little Ferry, New Jer
sey, as an electroplating shop. He
spent five years perfecting his slip
ring which now is the company's
major project.
The business has grown to where
it now operates three plants
South Hackensack, New Jersey,
Blacksburg, Virginia, and Ormond
Beach, Florida. Pandapas esti
mates his 1959 volume in excess
of five million dollars."
The company's rings vary In
size from less than one-sixteenth
inch to more than 16 feet with as
many as 300 circuits.
Manufacture of these complicat
ed instruments, used especially in
space vehicles, involves use of
pure gold and pure silver.
The company is working on two
separate million dollar contracts
for the rings from General Mo
tors and Raytheon.
Pandapas says his Greek name
means always going and he
feels that could just about de
scribe U.S. space vehicles if only
the procurement policies of the de
fense department could be modi
fied to give more liberal considera
tion to patented proprietary products.
