(6) DESCRIBE THE MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AMONG SCHEDULE HOLDERS AND THE

RESULTS OR A STATEMENT OF THE REASON MARKET RESEARCH WAS NOT CONDUCTED:

A comprehensive search was conducted on Veterans Information Pages (VIP) at www.vetbiz.gov to make a determination as to the availability of Veteran Owned Small Businesses and/or Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB/SDVOSB). A search of the key work "Getinge" resulted in 3 vendors listed. However, upon further examination, it was concluded that the 3 vendors listed are authorized to provide maintenance and service, and are not authorized distributors of their products.

However, contracting officer (CO) knowledge and experience concludes that there is an authorized SDVOSB distributor for Getinge USA, Inc. sterilization equipment. This vendor, TrillaMed LLC, was contacted and the Director of National Account/Government Contracts provided CO with a letter from Getinge USA, Inc. Vice President of Operations, which designates TrillaMed as an authorized distributor for sales to the US government, when advantageous to the government buyer.

(8) A STATEMENT OF THE ACTIONS1 IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR

OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS THAT LED TO THE RESTRICTED CONSIDERATION BEFORE ANY

SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION FOR THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES IS MADE:

In this particular procurement action, it is the CO's determination that there is a valid and verifiable justification for limiting the sources for this purchase to Getinge USA, Inc. or its authorized distributor (pending determination of fair and reasonable pricing.)
