3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The SimMan 3G Plus offers a fully immersive simulation experience with heightened realism. It’s uniquely designed to represent a diverse range of patient scenarios to help prepare learners for real-world situations. Whether training individually or in a team, learners can practice critical skills such as decision-making, team communication, and patient care. With this improved and realistic feature set, learners encounter complex medical cases all in a risk-free environment. SimCapture allows learners to effectively manage, record, and assess simulation training, both on-site and in-situ. It allows for capture of video, audio, annotations, patient monitors and simulator data in a single web-based interface. The incumbent is the sole manufacturer proprietor provider installer, educator, certified and authorized entity to provide service, maintenance, technical services and support for the SimMan 3G Plus. The equipment requested is specific to the needs and replacement of the already equipment in place at the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Healthcare System (VAHCS) Nursing Education Service units.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: The market was surveyed to determine if other vendors were capable of providing the requested equipment. Market research resulted in two authorized seller distributors capable of meeting the needs for this requirement; Beacon Point Associates LLC and BMK Ventures. According to the NMR Rule, the rule of two has been met. This requirement will be a small business set-aside.
