X Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source (unique features, function of the item, etc.). Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

The unit must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing NIDEK RT-5100 systems presently installed across Navy Medicine Operational Training Command. The NIDEK

RT-series refraction system was previously selected for mass acquisition across Navy Medical spaces to ensure standardization across Navy Optometry/Ophthalmology. All Navy optometry providers are trained on this equipment, fostering efficiency and decreasing likelihood for errors.

This is also the preferred model for training AMOs as this is what they will utilize in MTFs and onboard Navy vessels. Marco Ophthalmic is the sole authorized distributor in the United States of

NIDEK products.

The existing RT-5100 units were purchased in 2008 and are beginning to fail intermittently. The

RT-6100 is the direct replacement system for existing RT-5100 equipment and will also seamlessly integrate with our medical processing and with existing Marco Tonoref II Auto

Ref/Kerato/Tono/Pachymeters.

I CERTIFY THAT STATEMENTS CHECKED, AND INFORMATION PROVIDED ABOVE, ARE
