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 specific make and model request. The Canandaigua and Bath VA Medical have integrated to what will be known as the VA Finger Lakes Health Care System. With that, the expectation is medical providers may work at any of the facilities within the region to include Bath, Canandaigua and/or Rochester. To ensure continuity in care, all facilities within the region must standardize medical equipment. In addition, this standardization further aligns the Eye Clinic’s association with the Flaum Eye Institute of the University of Rochester, NY. Providers from this institute are contracted by the Department of Veterans Affairs for the Upstate New York VA facilities to perform, among other things, OCT angiography. The equipment purchased for the new VA Rochester Outpatient Clinic must be compatible with equipment currently in use at the Flaum Eye Institute.

In accordance with FAR Part 10, market research will be conducted by synopsis of the proposed acquisition, advising industry of the pending acquisition and soliciting inquiries from interested parties.
