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

Item Quantity UI Description

1 5 EA 511 ADEC Dental Chairs 2 5 EA 532 ADEC TRAD Delivery System 3 5 EA 551 ADEC ASST Instrumentation 4 5 EA 577L ADEC LED Dental LT, Track Mount 5 1 EA Installation 6 1 EA Blanket wrap service

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

The Erie VAMC currently has five (5) Dental Treatment rooms outfitted with Brand Name ADEC Dental Chairs and Equipment. Personnel using the equipment are currently familiar with the use, care, disinfecting procedures of this brand of equipment. The training and written SOPs for use, care, cleaning, are currently specific to ADEC brand equipment. The operating inventories of consumable supplies to support ADEC brand equipment are currently on hand to support existing ADEC brand equipment. The training of repair personnel and available bench stock inventories of spare parts are also available to support existing ADEC brand equipment.

Purchasing another brand of equipment would require a duplicative and uneconomical investment in not only additional operating and bench stock inventories of consumables and spare parts unique to another brand, but also an investment of provider and technician time in training for use, care, cleaning, disinfecting, and repair of another brand of equipment.

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

Market research was conducted by checking GSA Advantage, FBO, FPDS, and VIP. Market Research has revealed that at least two SDVOSB authorized distributors exist for ADEC equipment.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.1061(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
