Buyer Team - See Commodity list at http://purchase.unm.edu/department-information/comm-code-listing.pdf Provide a basic description of goods/services to be provided:

The item is an in vivo imaging system (IVIS). It is a machine that can image small rodents for scientific experiments.

Why is this purchase needed?

The current IVIS that we have been using is now obsolete because of it’s age and the lack of ability to repair key components. We are purchasing a new machine.

II. BASIS FOR SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT. CHOOSE APPLICABLE BOX(ES) AND

PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, AS REQUESTED:

☐ Proprietary item, technology or service only available from the proposed vendor. (Check box and describe proprietary component) http://purchase.unm.edu/department-information/comm-code-listing.pdf

☒ Compatibility requirement with existing item, technology or service. (Check box and describe compatibility requirement)

This machine is from the same company that makes our current, obsolete machine. Purchasing a machine from another company would make it impossible to compare our current data to new data. For this reason, we need to purchase from the same company that generates the exact same type of data.

☐ Renewal of support/maintenance/subscription of software, technology or other intellectual property. (Check box and describe)

☐ Other Basis for Sole Source: Please describe below:

III. SUPPLEMENTAL DETAILS. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS

REQUESTED BELOW:

Describe in detail the unique capabilities of the proposed vendor’s goods/service and/or personnel performing the work and why this constitutes the only source. Focus on what is unique about the goods/service and why no other vendor could meet your needs.

The machine allows for imaging of small rodents over longitudinal studies and following infection. It can image mice that have been infected with luciferase-expressing pathogens and has analysis software that allows quantitation of luminescence, which is a unique system. The software and machine produce data that is not comparable to data produced by other company’s machines.

Describe the due diligence made to locate other possible sources including communications with other universities, communications with similar providers, web searches, yellow page searches, review of advertisements and trade publications, etc.

We did extensive internet searches in google to examine other possible in vivo imaging system options. This machine is the only one with all capabilities we required for in vivo imaging of small rodents. There are only 2 companies we could find that made in vivo imaging systems: Revvity and Spectral Instruments.

List the other vendors who were contacted. Please describe the specs/qualifications/criteria that the other vendors were unable to satisfy.

Spectral Instruments – uses a different software and illumination source
