1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 06, Hampton VA

Medical Center 100 Emancipation Drive Hampton, VA 23667 for Asheville VA Medial Center 110 Tunnel Blvd Asheville, NC 28805. 237: 637-26-4-428-4747

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

When this is combined with two-way radio, it allows for immediate intervention in time to prevent harm to patients and/or staff. The Estimated Amount is

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: This is a brand name only justification for the AvaSure 12-month software subscription and hardware that is only compatible with the current AvaSure equipment being used at the facility. If another brand was obtained, it would not be compatible with the equipment utilized at the facility. Procuring an alternate brand would require replacing the equipment already in use at the facility. These additional costs to the government are not expected to be recovered through competition. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the government to maintain the AvaSure brand.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

Based on the market research conducted, the NMR is not applicable because the OEM, AvaSure, a small business, has authorized only one (1) SDVOSB to distribute their products. Sierra7 Inc., a small business and verified SBA/CERT is the authorized distributor. However, the SBA rule of two can be met since the OEM, AvaSure is a small business and the authorized distributor is a small business.

Searches were conducted in SBA CERT, SAM.gov, GSA Advantage, and GSA eLibrary.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR

13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
