6.29. Acquisition of Refurbished Equipment and Repair Parts.

6.29.1. The purchase of refurbished or used medical equipment is not authorized. (T-1).

6.29.2. The use of refurbished components is authorized only if provided by:

6.29.2.1. The original equipment manufacturer (OEM). (T-1).

6.29.2.2. An OEM-approved source or subsidiary. (T-1).

6.29.2.3. Department of Defense or VA depot services. (T-1).

The Simulation Center contacted the company's tech support line to verify if the company trains and/or authorizes any third parties the necessary level of system access in order to complete the required services. According to the representatives, the company does not train any third parties in the delivery of the requested services.

The Simulation Center discussed OEM-authorized third-party services for this system with the manufacturer's support representatives. The manufacturer does not train any third parties nor does it grant general software access or administrator-level control as required to perform the requested work due to the proprietary nature of system. Online research did not present any additional sources capable of meeting the government's requirement.

The Simulation Center continues to research and evaluate other companies to determine if they are capable of meeting the government's requirement prior to requesting services as single source or brand name requirements. There are no other known sources capable of providing the requested service at this time.
