Market Research was conducted using VetCert, DSBS, FPDS, eCMS, Contract Opportunities, SAM, and GSA. VetCert was searched using the NAICS Code and this provided 599 vendors. DSBS used NAICS Code 339112 and key word “CPR” and this provided 2 potential vendors. It was found during the Market Research, using FPDS, eCMS, Contract Opportunities, that these items are available on the open market, which was confirmed through the OEM, Laerdal. Therefore, an RFQ will be placed in Contract Opportunities as a SDVOSB set aside. Market Research showed the OEM of this equipment does not distribute this equipment and has 2 SDVOSB vendors that can provide this equipment. This will meet the VA Rule of Two requirement.
