Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: PMRS is looking to purchase a Bertec Balance Advantage Computerized Dynamic Posturography machine. The company who owns our current machine has gone out of business leaving no one to repair or update the equipment. JE Hurley is the only source who sells this posturography machine. This is to be used in conjunction with existing equipment.

Estimated Cost: $177,000.00

Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The Bertec Balance Advantage Computerized Dynamic Posturography machine is the only machine on the market with the features that it offers. This machine is only sold by JE Hurley. It is the only machine on the market that is validated by controlled research studies with many unique features.

2. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: GSA, VIP, and FPDS were used during market research. The equipment is not offered on GSA eBuy. A search on FPDS confirmed that current purchases of the required equipment were purchased open market, with the service-disabled small business distributor of the required items.

3. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
