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

FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) - Brand Name

- (i) Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization).

This is a software upgrade to the current the OCT CIRRUS model being used. With this software package the depth -resolved visualization of the retinal vasculature. This is a proprietary software product of Zeiss Ophthalmic instruments. Additionally, David Grant Medical Center has already procured the Zeiss CIRRUS 5000 HD-OCT Platform;

therefore, any additional software will also require the purchase of a new platform which a may exceed an additional $50k. It is in the government's best interest not to re-procure a different platform.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Market research was conducted to produce distributors for the Angioplex software package. We confirmed that this is a proprietary software product of Zeiss Ophthalmic Instruments; however, two potential sources have been found to distribute this software.

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

Continued market research will be done to seek alternative sources. No further purchases will be sought without additional market research.
