3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

The product is being requested to fill prescriptions where the Physician specifically requested this brand for the veteran. Within the Veterans Health Administration brand name drugs and medical surgical (MedSurg) products may be prescribed by physicians when in their clinical judgment the brand name drug/MedSurg will provide a better therapeutic outcome for patients. Brand name drugs and MedSurg are requested when there is a clinical requirement for the drug/product or there is history of clinical requirements for the drug/product and inventory must be maintained to meet anticipated requirements. Prescriptions are entered as DAW or Dispense as Written meaning the pharmacy is not allowed to substitute any other brand for the prescription but can only fill prescription with the brand that was ordered by the Physician. The site is not requesting purchase from any certain vendor. Multiple vendors offer these items.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

· The NAC website was searched and the requested NDC is not on contract

· Non-manufacturer rule (NMR) does NOT apply between the micro-purchase threshold and the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT) per 13 CFR 121.406(d).

· Market research was conducted through Vet Biz and DSBS under NAICS 325412
