5. Reasons for Authority Cited:

A Request for Quotation (RFQ) was posted to the Government Point of Entry (GPE) under solicitation number W81K00-16-T-M047. Quotes were submitted by Arjohuntleigh, Inc., Sizewise, and Hill-Rom. However, only the quote submitted by Arjohuntleigh was determined to be technically acceptable. Therefore, BPA W81K00- 16-A-0024 was awarded to Arjohuntleigh, Inc. on 1 October 2016.

6. Publicizing Contract Actions: Requirement to post justification in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), ☒ Only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreement, brand name or industrial mobilization. It will be redacted and posted with the solicitation.

7. Market Research: Market research was conducted; however, there are no indications the market has changed since the BPA was solicited and awarded (i.e., the vendors that previously submitted an offer have no new bed offerings, or any other indication they would be technically acceptable if the solicitation was re-issued). A review of the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) results there are no small businesses that can provide variety of beds needed to accommodate all potential patients.
