2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

The requirement is for three (3) each IntraSight 5 Platforms each with an Imaging (IVUS) License, including Digital, Rotational, and ChromaFlo, IVUS; Touch Screen Module; iFR Hyperemia Free Lesion Assessment Modality; FFR Modality; Philips Remote Services and Two-Year Warranty. These systems are to replace the existing Philips Systems.

*The trade in discount for three (3) Core Imaging Systems is available as follows: three (3) Philips CORE Integrated Imaging Systems: SERIAL NUMBERS: 103020093859, 103020094214, and 103020093780.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

This is a brand name justification for the Philips IntraSight 5 Systems which will replace existing Philips Systems and is an upgrade to allow full integration with the existing x-ray systems. The Philips System is the only system which will allow the full integration. If another manufacturer’s system was considered for this requirement, there would need to be the replacement of three systems with a comparable IVUS system and the cost to do that is estimated to be between $800,000 - $900,000; and there would not be any eligibility for a trade in discount as what is offered through Philips. The equipment must be compatible with the existing hardware, software, and end user knowledge; and it will incorporate the current platform to Windows 10, which will enhance security. The replacement Philips systems will increase functionality with the addition of a tableside touch screen for clinicians to control the unit while maintaining sterility. The clinicians are fully trained to operate the Philips Systems. The Philips IntraSight 5 Systems will directly replace the existing Philips Systems.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

Resulting from market research, the large business manufacturer, Philips, will sell the IntraSight 5 Interventional Applications Platform, including government discounts and the trade-in credit, through three (3) SDVSOBs, Veterans Healthcare, Four Point, and Alliant and through Metro Medical, a small, woman, minority-owned business. Due to the Non-Manufacturer Rule (NMR), as this is a large business manufacturer’s product, the procurement cannot be a SDVOSB set-aside, but it can be a small business set-aside for posting on Contracts Opportunities with award IAW with FAR Part 13.
