(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:

The Government owns the medication dispensing and supply cabinets described in paragraph 3 above. Omnicell is the only authorized service provider for their equipment. They do not authorize third party vendors to maintain their proprietary equipment. Additionally, Omnicell has been issued a Certificate of Networthiness to operate on the Army network, which allows them remote access. They are able to troubleshoot issues affecting the required uptime, and either respond remotely, or dispatch a Field Service Engineer. The Contracting Officer has determined that no other vendor has the capability to perform maintenance on the Omnicell equipment. Awarding the contract to a company that is not familiar with the equipment could result in loss of equipment which could cause the hospital to incur unnecessary re-procurement costs.

6. Actions to Increase Competition:

There are no actions identified that can be taken to remove/overcome barriers to competition as described above. Omnicell is the sole provider of maintenance services on Omnicell branded equipment. The Government will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible. This will be posted on the Beta.Sam website to increase competition.

7. Market Survey:

Market research was performed in accordance with FAR Part 10 by reviewing available information in Procurement Desktop Defense (PD2), Paperless Contract Files (PCF) and the Small Business Administration Dynamic Small Business websites. In no instance was an award made to another vendor for maintenance of Omnicell equipment. Additionally, a review was made of VA FSS Schedule 65 II A, SIN A-92, and in no case were any of the FSS awardees able to maintain Omnicell Equipment.

8. Procurement History:

Previous Contract or Purchase Order Number: W91YTZ20P0131 Previously competed? N/A No Yes Previous authority for less than Full & Open Competition: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i)
