3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: SLVHCS has already invested almost $2,573,429.00 into this technology at the main campus in New Orleans. The medical center is now looking to expand this system to the CBOCs. Utilizing the same system will allow for the same standard of care in patient education at the CBOCs as in the main hospital. Since SLVHCS already owns the system and the backbone, we will just be purchasing monitors and local cache devices to be used in the CBOC’s. The manufacturer of this product does not sell through other companies and is registered in SAM as a Small Business concern.

This equipment must be compatible with each other, it is proprietary software, and the a significant cost savings from the purchase & implementation of a new system; it has been determined to Sole Source this requirement to Optimal Solutions.
