3. Wha·: Market Research was used in planning/describing the Government requirement (i.e. eCAT, Prime Vendor, GSA Advantage, GSANA Schedules, prior awards, contact with vendor)?

\ Justification for the sole source purchase is based on the fact that this lab has committed to fhe use of Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics products. An analysis was performed with the only

1 \ two major suppliers of blood bank reagents, Immucor and Ortho-Clinifal products.

,: lmmucor's product list docs not include the 0.8% suspension of testing'.c�lls or the MTS gel I\ cards that are required for testing in the blood bank. Only companies ofrering gel testing

,urplies can be utilized by our facility.

Gel testing is proven to be the more specific and sensitive method for blold bank testing.

Additionally, purchased equipment via EPRC area already in place in the Blood Bank �ection of the laboratory and only OrthoClinical Diagnostics products is compatible with

I these equipment (MTS Workstation).

Due to the instability of ihe delivery ,chedule, there may be an interruption in patient testing if ordered items do not arrive in time.

Ii ihe representative further explained that their products on a Federal Government pricing.

I\ ;tJased on a 28-day manufacturing schedule Traditional Red Cell prodcuts are required to

'be set up on a standing order directly with Ortho Clinical Diagnostics. Limited quantities 1 \ J.r•: manufactured based on the scheduled orders. These items cannot be ordered on a
