Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The 96 Medical Group requires two Ultrasound system for the OB/GYN clinic. Only one brand name, FujiFilm SonoSite, is acceptable to the customer.

- The devices are needed in a crowded, small and busy clinic during patient's appointment in space constrained areas; therefore, systems must be light, robust and modular architecture. To allow for this, system should be housed on an ergonomic and mobile work platform cart equipped with locking wheels, multiple transducer holders, cable hooks, storage basket, ultrasound gel and printer holder, DVI mini-dock, auxiliary monitor, triple transducer connect, extended battery pack, and dedicated charging station to allow charge without plugging into a power source.

- Ultrasound machine should be equipped with 2D grayscale digital display screen no larger than 11-inches digital display, easy navigation, capability to be battery-powered or wireless to ensure mobility, backlit, sanitizable keyboard, triple transducer connection with quick disconnects, ability to print black/white and color images and video monitoring.

- OB/GYN abdominal Transducers w/max depth is 30cm (5-2MHZ) and OB/GYN intracavity transducers w/max depth of 10cm(8-5 MHZ) with 1-meter drop test durability and biopsy guide must be available.

- Software should include: HD Imaging technology to reduce speckle noise enhancing tissue margins, ColorHD, Velocity color flow imaging, Tissue Harmonic Imaging, PW Doppler, TDI PW, CW Doppler, Comprehensive, application-specific and Advanced OB/GYN calculations, fetal biometry, capabilities for measuring anatomical structures, with M-Mode and ADAPT Tissue Optimazation technology.

- Must have the ability to save scans to a DVD in DICOM format for billing purposes or to the patients' electronic medical record.

All required cables, manuals and training to have the ability to fully function and get optimal use.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

The MDG currently owns 13 Sonosite M-Turbo Systems valued at approximately $600K. This item is required to guarantee trusted care and safety for patients as it will facilitate transfer between 6 different clinics. Having the same equipment will guarantee that all physicians and medical technicians will be able to transfer patient data using the same output.

Additionally, this brand will eliminate roughly $40k in extra costs for setup, training and per diem for biomedical support;

possible artifacts and misinterpretations of image readings stemming from unfamiliarity with varying devices would also be significantly reduced. Obtaining the same equipment will also eliminate the need of having to procure new testing/repair equipment. The MDG currently maintains a stock of probes compatible with the current devices. Any other brand name would require its own probe backup stock. This brand name is needed to eliminate the need of procuring back up probes which are estimated to cost and additional $30k.

Lastly, this brand name supports the fastest boot-up time of 35-45 seconds required in an emergency Labor and Delivery situation.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The results of analysis of several models as well as discussions with industry reps have confirmed that no other devices meet the interoperability as well as fast boot-up requirements.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

The clinic will continue to monitor the market for equipment that could be compatible with currently used devices. Additionally, future requirements will consider more modular devices to expand competition.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
