In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order and the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order was not previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures (FAR 8.405- 6(a)(1)(i)(C)); or

Items peculiar to one manufacturer. An item peculiar to one manufacturer can be a particular brand name, product, or a feature of a product, peculiar to one manufacturer). A brand name item, whether available on one or more schedule contracts, is an item peculiar to one manufacturer (FAR 8.405-6(b)).

5. Rational/explanation to support cited authority: Eclipse products and software are proprietary technology to Varian Medical Systems. The Varian Eclipse desktop is a specific treatment planning system that runs to our Varian linear accelerators used to treat cancer patients with radiation therapy. We currently already use the Varian Eclipse system and this desktop will allow another user to plan radiation treatments that will be used only by the Varian linear accelerators that deliver the beam. Changing systems now would not serve in the best interest of the Government. As it would cost the Government more to change out the system and to retrain staff on new equipment.

6. BRAND NAME ONLY: This buy is estimated to exceed $25,000 and this documentation will be posted along with the RFQ on e-Buy, as required by FAR 8.405-1(e).

7. Note that this determination satisfies the requirements of FAR 8.405-6. The requirement to prepare a written justification IAW FAR 6.303 does not apply to Federal Supply Schedules.
