3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Currently, ALL Noninvasive Blood Pressure Measurement Systems used at Memphis VA Medical Center are the EV1000 Clinical platform from Edwards Lifesciences. In order to conform to the VA's standardization directive and ensure excess costs from duplication and delays are mitigated, the requested source is the only one with the capability to suffice the needs of the government.

Pursuant to 38 U.S.C 8127(b), VAAR 813.106-70(b) and 15 USC 657f, COs may use other than full and open competition when awarding to SDVOSB and VOSB firms for procurements under the SAT.

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

Market research was conducted in accordance with VA Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) 810.001-70, VAAR 808.002, and 808.004-70. Market research also considered peer sources across VHA. This product is not on any mandatory contracts or BPAs. One consistent result was found in VIP and FPDS - 1st American Medical Distributors, LLC (1AMD), a VIP-verified SDVOSB. Edwards Lifesciences provided an authorized distributor letter for 1st American Medical Supply. A Notice of Intent to Sole Source was posted from July 16th to July 27th, with no response from any competitor(s).

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.
