3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The injector systems are required because they will be compatible with the Medical Center’s contrast protocol systems already in place. This system is already in use in the other CT rooms. This requirement is replacing a system that was end of life. This system is needed for continuity of contract injection and consistent contrast imaging across all scan rooms.

In addition, all ancillary supplies for this particular system are already in stock.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

Market research was conducted by contacting the manufacture to determine if they partner with any SDVOSB companies that are authorized to distribute their equipment. The manufacturer confirmed via email that they partner with at least three SDVOSB companies. This requirement will be solicited as a SDVOSB set-aside.
