Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 375 CONS/PKB2

Project/Program Name: Laerdal Mx

Purchase Request/Identification Number: F3S4019282AQ01

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $0.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

Provide extended support and maintenance service for Laerdal SimMan 3G and Laerdal SimBaby at the Medical Clinic on Scott

AFB, IL..

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

Laerdal Medical products are complex manikins, task trainers and patient simulators that are not designed to be sustained by user customers. They are technically sophisticated systems, software driven, computer controlled reactive/interactive electro-mechanical constructs that require Laerdal Medical - authorized, specially trained and equipped technicians having access to (otherwise unavailable) parts and components to carry out preventive maintenance and/or warranty repair procedures that most times also require specialized test/calibration fixtures and/or verification test procedures. As a result, Laerdal Medical is the only entity able to provide preventative maintenance and/or repair services on Laerdal products and systems.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Laerdal was contacted to see if there were any third-party companies that could also provide the maintenance service. a representative from Laerdal stated that there were not. After conducting a search on GSA, one contractor, Pocket Nurse Enterprises, had Laerdal maintenance on their price list. Again, after speaking to the representative from Laerdal, it was confirmed that Pocket Nurse Enterprises sends the mannequins to Laerdal when a requirement is received. As a result, it has been determined that Laerdal is the only contractor that can perform maintenance on their mannequins.
