2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

BreezeConnect HL7 Interface Software for ADT, Orders and Results, BreezeReview, Electronic Signature Software, Pulmonary Consult Software, One Year Network Software Support, Two Day Onsite Operator Training (up to 4 People).

Estimated Amount:

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

The BreezeReview and BreezeConnect applications developed by MGC Diagnostics are proprietary. Because MGC Diagnostics maintains full control over its software and interfaces, only MGC can provide the HL7 server required for the Kansas City VAMC and ensure proper integration with VISTA. MGC Diagnostics is also the sole vendor capable of integrating its BreezeConnect interface with Somnoware, the Oracle Health–approved platform.

The KCVA currently operates MGC diagnostic devices using the Breeze Suite software, including plethysmography box, Ultima systems, and spirometers. These devices, most of which were purchased within the last two years, depend on MGC’s proprietary software. For this reason, the facility has only evaluated MGC’s HL7 interface, as adopting a different vendor’s solution would require replacing all devices.

While other brands, such as the have been contemplated and could potentially be used in the future Federal EHR environment, pursuing this option

Revision: 02 Effective Date: 12/30/2025 Page 2 of 3 Acquisition ID#: 36C255-26-AP-2596 would result in substantial and unnecessary duplication of cost, effort, and time. A competitive procurement process would be required, and the outcome would almost certainly necessitate purchasing entirely new diagnostic equipment as well as a new interface.

Proceeding with the BreezeReview solution avoids these significant inefficiencies. It ensures continuity with existing equipment, maintains compatibility with the current software environment, and relies on the only vendor capable of meeting the KCVA’s technical and clinical integration requirements.
