5. Reason for Authority Cited: Steris Corporation is the only authorized distributor and manufacturer of the eTrap Polyp Trap (see proprietary letter dated 22 April 2021 in the PCF Cabinet folder A.02, Subsidiary of STERIS Corp). Acquisition of this product, for several years, was through the Government Purchase Cards, however, due to the $10,000.00 threshold limit on the credit cards a BPA is warranted. This item is critical to the Gastroenterology Clinic, WAMC. Without this item, the Gastroenterologists are unable to isolate the polyp specimen, allowing the technician to safely and promptly withdraw the specimen while the provider continues the procedure. The ability to perform this task eliminates mislabeling of specimens, which eliminates inaccurate diagnoses of the patient.

Failure to procure this item will result in diminished patient care.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: A sources sought was posted to beta.SAM.gov on 30 Apr 21.

A synopsis and this J&A will be posted to beta.SAM.gov. A combined solicitation will also be posted to beta.SAM.gov website.
