5. Reason for Authority Cited: Raumedic, Inc provided a proprietary letter on 03 March 2023 stating that it is the is the sole supplier and distributor of all Raumedic Products in the United States see PCF cabinet W91YTZ23Q0055 folder A.02. Raumedic also confirmed in the letter that there are no other body (ies) which are distributors of the requested supplies. The requested supply is the Data Logger, a miniature pressure regulator for Inter-Cranial Pressure Monitoring and Brain Temperatures.

This monitoring system will be essential for providing safe care to post-operative Neurosurgical Brain patients. The requirement is to support the Intensive Care Unit for post-operative care after brain surgery. Datalogger products include the pole mounting device; fiber optics; cables; transport monitors and cables and drill bits. Based on the proprietary letter there are no alternatives other than to award a purchase order to Raumedic, Inc. Failure to provide these supplies will result in diminished healthcare of the patient(s).

6. Actions to Increase Competition: A Sources Sought notice was posted 14 March 2023 on www.sam.gov to increase competition. There were no responses received from the posting.

Raumedic, Inc is the sole supplier and distributor of all Raumedic Products, therefore this will be a sole source requirement to Raumedic, Inc.

7. Market Survey: Market Research was conducted in accordance with FAR Part 10 on ________.

I researched by using the General NAICS code 339999 and found a broad range of small business contractors having the capabilities to provide parts. However, due to Raumedic Inc being the sole supplier and distributors of the required supplies, no further research will be taken.
