(C) or 8.405-6(b)), AND IF APPLICABLE, A DEMONSTRATION OF THE PROPOSED

CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS TO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED SUPPLY OR SERVICE.

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

Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized;

As a result of patents and copyrights associated with the CareFusion Pyxis product line, only the Original Equipment Manufacturer, CareFusion Solutions, LLC has the ability to provide all the required services for this procurement.

In the interest of economy and efficiency, 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.

Items peculiar to one manufacturer:

A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is: (If FAR 8.405-6(a)(2)iii before posting. Do not include specific proprietary data.

Only mention the type of equipment, procedure, etc. to show that proprietary supplies or services are being procured.)

These are “direct replacements” parts/components for existing equipment.

The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

(5) DESCRIBE WHY YOU BELIEVE THE ORDER REPRESENTS THE BEST VALUE CONSISTENT WITH

FAR 8.404(d) TO AID THE CONTRACTING OFFICER IN MAKING THIS BEST VALUE DETERMINATION: Price reasonableness shall be determined through comparing the received quotes to the previous procurement of this requirement (36C24218P0037, 10/01/2017-09/30/2018, , 528C80118,528C82063,528C85054,528C84105,528C83111). The total dollar value of all five quotes received is , which is an increase of 4% over the total dollar value of the previous procurement. As a result, the pricing has been determined to be fair and reasonable.

(6) DESCRIBE THE MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AMONG SCHEDULE HOLDERS AND THE

RESULTS OR A STATEMENT OF THE REASON MARKET RESEARCH WAS NOT CONDUCTED: A

search on VetBiz using NAICs code 811219 and keyword “Carefusion” did not identify and potential SDVOSB or VOSB vendors that could possible meet the requirements of this procurement.

A search on GSA elibrary using keyword “CareFusion” has identified that CareFusion Solutions, LLC does have a FSS contract (36F79718D0454).

A search on DSBS using NAICs code 811219 and keyword “CareFusion Solutions, LLC” did not identify any SDVOSB or VOSB vendor that could possibly meet the requirements of this procurement.

(7) ANY OTHER FACTS SUPPORTING THE JUSTIFICATION: None

(8) A STATEMENT OF THE ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR

OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS THAT LED TO THE RESTRICTED CONSIDERATION BEFORE ANY
