3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Cannon Medical Systems USA, Inc is the sole OEM distributor of parts and certified technicians trained to service Cannon Ultrasound Machines. They do not have an authorized third-party vendor to supply or install replacement parts. The Canon Aplio I800 Ultrasound Machine is a multipurpose diagnostic ultrasound system used to provide real time clinical assessments for clinical decision making.

SBA was searched using NAICS code 334510 and keyword “ultrasound” and 37 results were found. Cannon Medical Systems verified that the Canon Aplio I800 Ultrasound Machine replacement parts must be replaced with certified Cannon Medical Systems parts by certified Cannon Medical Systems technicians; they do not have an authorized third-party vendor to supply and install certified Cannon Medical Systems parts; and the parts and installation are not available on any federal government contracts. Searched GSA and SCMC by part number “PM30-43282-2*H” and found 0 results. The NAICS code 334510 is waived for ultrasound equipment.
