5. Reason for Authority Cited:

6. Actions to Increase Competition: A Sources Sought Notice was posted on betaSAM.gov on 30

January 2020, with a closing date of 14 February 2020. There was one respondent, a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business. Market research for the current contract with Air Gas determined that AirGas offered fair and reasonable prices for the government. The sole respondent to the Sources Sought Notice indicates that other distributors exist that can provide medical grade oxygen and nitrogen. However, AirGas equipment remaining in place will alleviate down time for installation at the Fort Meade site that would significantly impact surgical capabilities.

This will not be posted on FBO to increase competition.
