2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount: The Steris (Cantel) Medivators ConnectAssure Technology (CAT) interface platform is a Steris-provided service solution to help sterile processing departments integrate their Medivators Advantage Plus Automated Endoscope Reprocesssors (AERs) with instrument tracking and sterile processing information systems, such as the Censis ScopeTrac system which is currently deployed at all VISN 9 medical centers, consisting of 16 sites. The firm-fixed price contract of one base year plus four one-year options of subscription services will facilitate the integration of our Medivators AERs to the network and allow scope reprocessing data to continuously flow from our Medivators AERs to CAT where it can then be shared with Censis ScopeTrac for years to come.

Total estimated contract value with options is $88,150.00.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Steris is the sole provider of this service offering and does not offer this solution via any third-party distributors. This solution cannot be provided by any other offerors because it contains access to Steris proprietary technology and service offerings.

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

Market research was limited to STERIS Corp. because this service contains proprietary technology and service offerings developed and implemented solely by STERIS Corp.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
