(4) IDENTIFICATION OF THE JUSTIFICATION RATIONALE (SEE FAR 8.405-6), AND IF APPLICABLE, A

DEMONSTRATION OF THE PROPOSED CONTRACTOR'S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS TO PROVIDE

THE REQUIRED SUPPLY OR SERVICE.

D Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source (unique features, function of the item, etc.).

D A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is:

D These are "direct replacements" parts/components for existing equipment.

D The materiaVservice must be compatible in all aspects (form; fit and function} with existing systems presently installed/performing.

D The new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order must not have been previously issued under sole source or limited source procedures.

IZJ An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the ordering procedures would result in unacceptable delays.

The CMOP facilities must continue without disruption to ensure Veteran patients receive critical medications. Failure to award this task order will endanger Veteran patient health. The current bridge contract provides approximately eight pharmacists and 30 pharmacy technicians at the Leavenworth location to ensure operations are fulfilled. Without the support of contracted personnel, operations would be critically curtailed. Therefore, the most logical action is to award a.bridge task order as the incumbent Contractor would be able to successfully perform these services without interruption. DLH already has the skilled personnel with security clearances in place to provide these services without any transitioning. The awarding of a short-term bridge task order will ensure this continuity and facilitate the Department's efforts to move to a successor, long-term contract vehicle.
