3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The Spectralis is an ophthalmic imaging platform with an upgradable, modular design allowing clinicians to configure the system to the specific diagnostic workflow in the clinic. OCT images require comparative analysis across time and across clinics (VA San Diego Medical Center, Oceanside Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC), Mission Valley CBOC, and the Chula Vista CBOC. The Optometry/Ophthalmology Department at the San Diego VA Medical Center has already purchased and installed HEYEX server infrastructure. The HEYEX server is specific to Heidelberg Engineering instruments and allows clinicians to view all the raw data obtained from any OCT imaging study performed. The HEYEX also provides comparative analysis across all images performed. No other products are compatible with the San Diego VAMC’s existing HEYEX server infrastructure. There is no alternate server that will allow multiple manufacturer’s devices to share and compare data. Therefore, the actual alternative cost would be to replace all of the other existing equipment all the other eye locations. The cost for replacing all of the existing OCT machines would or higher in addition to the cost of the quote for a new server, estimated at .

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

VHAPM Part 813.106 Page 2 of 2 Original Date: 08/30/17 Revision 01 Eff Date: 04/23/2018

There is no alternative server that will allow multiple manufacturer’s devices to share and compare data. Chula Vista currently runs a HEYEX Server. Replacing with an existing server would be needed to replace all of the other existing equipment at all of the other eye clinic locations.

At this time market research was not conducted for other ophthalmic imaging systems because no other systems are compatible with the San Diego VAMC’s existing HEYEX server infrastructure.

Market research for other manufacturers of ophthalmic imaging systems will be conducted by the San Diego VAMC when it comes time to replace the HEYEX server.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
