2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: This requirement is to purchase (2) Prop Air Cooled Fan Condensing Units in support of our engineering department. The cooled air condensers will be used with our existing Liebert air handler which is specifically designed to run computer and clean room units. The estimated value of this proposed action is $ .

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: These cooled fan condensing units are required to replace the current system that has reached end of life. The existing air hander system is the Liebert brand and the controls are all Liebert and specifically designed to run computer and clean room units for Liebert system. Continuing compatibility is essential as these units are their own entity that support the cat scan area and without these compatible units, the entire CT scan suite will not function and result in a hault in direct patient care.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: In an effort to find capable SDVOSB or VOSB research was conducted via the internet, IGCE, NAC, SCMC, FPDS, SAM, SBA and VIP Search. VIP found 44 vendors under NAICS 333415 and FSC 4130.

NAICS Code 333415 does have a non-manufacturer class waiver and therefore the solicitation will be set aside for a SDVOSB/VOSB as brand name only on SAM in accordance with FAR 13.
