3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) VISN 23 requires comprehensive support, annual maintenance, and repair services for the IVIS Lumina S5 Imaging System.

These services are critical to ensuring the safe, effective, and uninterrupted operation of the VA’s IVIS Imaging System. The system covered under this requirement are integral to the overall care of the patients and veterans seen at the Iowa City VA Health Care System.

Due to the proprietary nature of these services, only the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) are authorized and possess the required technical data, diagnostic tools, access credentials, and certified software necessary to perform full maintenance, updates, and support. These OEM capabilities are essential to maintaining system integrity, and preventing instrument malfunction that could adversely impact patient care.
