(b) FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii): Only one source can provide a portion of the purchase that is a particular brand-name item; OR

(c) FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A): An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays; OR

(d) FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B): 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; OR

(e) FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C): In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order not previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures.

5. Reason for Authority Cited: ENDO Mentor is the required simulator to be used for the skills portion of the Fundamentals of Endoscopic Surgery (FES) Certification Exam, which all General Surgery Residents must pass before they can sit for their board exams. WAMC needs to train our Residents on the equipment they will test on. In addition, the medical center intends to become a test center for the FES exam, which the Society of Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgery (SAGES) specifies this simulator is the only one approved for performing the exam. This specific Virtual Reality Surgical simulator has been previously purchased by the Army and is currently is in use in several Army Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) to include Walter Reed, Madigan and Eisenhower. If WAMC doesn’t purchase the simulator, our resident surgeons will not be prepared to take the exam, thereby causing a lack of service to patients.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: Market Research shows that the simulator can be purchased on GSA eBuy. Therefore no further competition will be used other than GSA eBuy.
