3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

The existing AFT model is no longer supported by the OEM. A BRAND NAME ONLY direct replacement is required. A direct replacement will allow for a seamless transition with no impact to patient care. Solicitation 36C25621Q1594 was posted on August 14, 2021 by Contract Officer, Latonya Mack, seeking comparable products for the AFT3100 and no responses were received.

After contacting the OEM, there is only one other distributor for this product. This requirement will be posted to SAM as a brand name only requirement.

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

Searched VIP with NAICS 339113 and received 538 results. Added keyword “fasttrack” and received 0 results. Contacted the OEM and they provided one SDVOSB distributor. Therefore, the rule of two is not attainable with this procurement. After contacting the OEM, there is only one other distributor for this product. This requirement will be posted to SAM as a brand name only requirement.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
