(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: GE Precision Healthcare LLC, Viewpoint software is currently used on Womack Army Medical Center (WAMC) servers. This requirement is for the continued use of software, maintenance of software, and upgrades of software. Contractor is only allowed to access servers through designated authorized WAMC Information Management Personnel. WAMC is in receipt of a sole source letter from GE Precision Healthcare LLC stating that, “GE Precision Healthcare LLC is the sole manufacturer and sole authorized government hospital distributor of the Viewpoint US System.” See Sole source letter from vendor titled “A.02 Viewpoint System Sole Manufacturer” in the PCF file. If this service is not continued there will be a negative impact for WAMC to obtain information on high-risk pregnancies.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: The action was synopsized in SAM.gov on 12 Sep 2024 to increase competition. No responses were received. No further action will be taken to increase competition based on the proprietary nature of the software.
