3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Mammography Reporting System software is a proprietary program. This program is developed, sold, trained and supported by MRS Systems, Inc. There is no other vendor or company authorized to develop, customize, support, sell or train Mammography Reporting System program. A search in AbilityOne.gov services list with keyword “mammography” yielded no results.

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

A search in VetBiz.gov with NAICS 511210 and Keyword “Mammography” yielded no results. After checking for mandatory sources and finding none, it is concluded that it is allowable to proceed with the procurement as a sole-source action, awarded to MRS Systems, Inc.
